gasser '57 chevy, tales from the crypt

I remember back in the day I really dug the '57 chevy in this show, episode "king of the road". Other than the movie I never ever seen this car. Anyone know about about the car, or have seen it in person? The second clip is where garrett picks the car up at his buddy's salvage yard.

That was a helluva wreck!!!!

 

I don't believe I've ever seen that.

 

I remember that episode....well at least the car anyway....I was only 10 or 12 when I saw it....I do remember the car though......Never heard of it again after that.

 

thanks .. what a great way to eat my lunch and view this show

 

That car just oozes cool, seems pretty authentic when he leaves the wrecking yard.

 

Two different Chevelles in that crash. It starts with a '69 and when it crashes it's a '68. Pretty tricky.

 

One of Brad Pitts first roles wasn't it?
Larry T

 

Great clips. I love that 57 but it coulda done without the phoney birdcatcher scoop. The cut wheelwells on it look fantastic. I wonder what became of this car?

 

this is the tales from the crypt I have it on dvd. Realy dig that 57 comeing out of the junk yard its the best part to me....

 

Yes they do.

 

That was kool! Really good car movie tactics for a show like that. - when that '57 rolled out i was stoked!

 

Kickass you found the clips on youtube. I looked all over for awhile and couldnt find the movie or on the net. Next to Hollywood Knights that was the next best 57 Chevy movie car I ever seen.

How do I get a copy?

 

Come on, somebody must know about that 57 chevy. That car is way too cool, not to know who owns it,or where it is.FALFA

 

I was thinking the same thing... With the power of the HAMB, and all the car shows that are attended, someone may have seen this car.

 

Wow! I stopped working on my car to see this again. 30 mins of non wasted time lol!

The only thing I didnt like about the movie then and now is the wheels they threw on the Chevelle. I had a 68 Elky when this episode came out.

Brad Pitt rocks to cheesy music. hehe...

Looks a lot like a friends car.

 

Very nice '57, I enjoyed watching those clips.

 

i got it on tape, bad ass movie.


"hes a real smart guy, real fast guy,..... so they say"

"whats his name?"

"Iceman!"

 

LOL... that Chevelle handles like a dream!

Awesome episode!

I always liked the episode where the guy was handcuffed to a dead motorcycle cop in the middle of the desert. I remember seeing that one when I was a kid.

 

Bad Road, Wretched Road ...... Rebel Son does a cool song about the movie

 

man, this is fuckin wicked!

I tried to be that cool in my hotrod, but the girls just laughed at me.

 

Oh yeah,.........I hear 'ya about that scene where the '57 pulls out of the junkyard and he puts the pedal-to-the-metal and kicks that beautifully-finned beast squirrelly a bit! If that doesn't get 'ya grabbin' for the remote control to rewind a few seconds and watch again.......then you ain't one of us!

 

And that grin on his face when he first fires it up!Very cool!

 

Kick ass movie, I like all the tatoos brad pitt puts on his arm everytime he beats somebody

 

There went a kewl 30 minutes of time...use to watch Tales but missed this one. Dug both rides... those wheels on the Chevelle take me back to high schoolin the early 80's..had them on couple of my trucks and a friend on his Monte Carlo

 

i have it on dvd and watch and rewind this part constantly!this car is on my list of cars i want to clone someday!

 

Hey guys did any one ever trace this or find out anything, I have just bought a 57 and want to do a copy of this car, I need to know colour , wheels the arch mods etc. Any help would be great. Heres some pics of the new 57.

 

Search Tales From The Crypt "King of The Road" for the full episode. That 57 is so bad ass, and my inspiration for my 57.

 

I must just be out of it ,that movie was crap. Good grief ,worse than watching Fast and Furious.

 

Love the reversed dish cragars, I bought a new set and put em on a 55 a few years ago.
