History 1960's Robert Hegge Hot Rod Show Photos

forgive me - for some reason the pictures did not down load yesterday.

 

Please more these are great!!

 

No problem, I was having difficulties posting the photos at first, but I could not tell what others besides myself could or could not see. Best wishes, David.

 

#9 is in the Chicago area. I see it at a number of events. Gets driven quite a bit. Stu

 

Is that the coupe built by Dave Puhl?

Yup. Same car was in Hot Rod in '62 or '63.

 

FANTASTIC!!! Please don't stop now!

 

X2!
Lovin' the pics!

Look at how distinctive the tires (and sometimes wheels) are!
Many of the cars would fit in today as Street Rods but the modern tires would change the look completely.
Some of those tire combos are awesome!!!

 

awesome thanks for sharing

 

yes it is. called x-altered
by the way welcome to the neighborhood looking forward to seeing your cars around! .....showrod

 

That is a 34 built by Dave Puhl, the car is still around in Illinois.

Thanks for the killer pics!!!

 

The poor guy looks terrified he might have to kiss the trophy marm.

 

Never knew Cy to be involved in Show cars. I met him at the Hoosier Swap Meet many years ago-he seemed to be focused on Lincolns (as powered the Show T.) but big on roundy round cars and parts as well. I bought the Edmunds heads and intake for my 337 Lincoln Flathead from him after coveting them for about two years.

 

The gentleman in pictures seven and eight is none other than Larry Alexander of the "Alexander Brothers" customizing duo from Detroit Michigan. A fantastic guy to talk to, as well as his Brother Mike. The t bucket pictured won the Ridler award around 67- 69. I think it was named the "Top Banana".I believe the Trophy "marm" may have been wife of Don Ridler who was very involved with the promotion of the Detroit Autorama until his early passing.

I believe Cy Kubista eventually sold his TNT roadster after having it in storage for many years. I remember seeing a classified ad for it in one of the print magazines. I had the occasion to meet and talk with him & his Wife at a couple of swap meets in Canfield, Ohio. Judging from what he was selling I'd say he had a wide field of interest in automobiles.

 

....I'll second that request......great pic's....thanks.
