I always thought it was a chevy two but now it looks like a 62 falcon

[yorgatron]

that's not a dumb question,i wouldn't mind hearing the answer myself.a dumb question would be "would i be able to sell an ARDUN equipped flathead for $100?" http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[**DONOTDELETE**]

it looks to me like a 62-63 falcon becuase of the supports from the firewall to the strut towers.

[modernbeat]

Yep, but for the bonus, can you tell us the magazine cover that Ryan copped it off of? Title and date please...

[phat rat]

Don't have time to go through my stack of old mags, but if I remember correctly it was HOT ROD. Would probably have been 61 or 62

[Harrison]

Someone scan that cover. I always thought it was a 66 Chevy II.

I am guessing on the date Hot Rod Mar 1962. I think the article was how to swap a 221 ford V8 into the old six cyl falcon.

Yeah, I'd have to go with a Falcon as well. I have a chevy II, and that ain't it! All the stupid people around here think my car's a falcon (it still has all the emblems on it!)

Go to Muskegon, you could be driving a Futura convertible with big blue ovals painted on the doors and you'd still hear "Yeah man, I had a Nova just like that in high school..."

[Slick mo fo]

My guess, Falcon or Comet.

The real question should be, who dressed those guys? and do you think they ever had grease under their nails?

[k-member]

I always thought it was a 64 fairlane http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[rickyracer1962]

60-61 falcon or ranchero

[CharlieLed]

Here's a 61 Falcon, same color, same grille...

Not my idea of a hotrod but I'm sure it looked good when Ryan made up the logo... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[buzzard]

It's obviously not traditional, or it would be flat black.

[prime mover]

I guess I was one year off.

Well, it is nice to see that Hot Rod's decision to NOT use Hot Rods in their magazines dates back to the 60's.

[CharlieLed]

Deyo you're crackin' me up! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[CharlieLed]

Now here's a REAL hotrod...77 Sunset Strip-style... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
