Hot Rods Van Halen's hot for teacher video 32 ford

Anyone know anything about the 32 ford phaeton in the hot for teacher video? Be pretty cool to know where its at today. I always thought it would be cool to pick my kids up at school with that car.

 

Tom McMullens car

 

I saw it a few years ago at an outdoor show in Crescent City, Ca. It looked a little "seasoned" if you know what I mean. Not horrid, just not show-quality by a far site.

 

I'm sure when diamond dave lee roth owned it, it wasnt pampered.

 

I hope the car doesn't look as beat up as Dave......

 

Wasnt there a cool merc in one of thier videos?

 

The 4-dr chopped Merc with scallops. The lift off top was ussually off in the videos.

 

panama video , I think

 

(Wish they could all be) California Girls.

 

Didn't Diamond Dave drive a 50 Merc from L.A to new York on a bet?

 

Here is a shitty picture I took of it in the Basement at the Petersen Museum in 2009

 

Its now in petersons automobile museum.

Heres the article

the merc is daves car atleast it was

 

looks too 80's ( yeah I know why that is )

and I dont care for the grill..or the stripe on the side, yet again..i wouldnt kick it out of my garage..( until i changed the color and a few things)

 

I hated that car when he built it. I can't remember the year but I'm sure it was covered in Streetrodder when he built it. There is a reason that it is in the basement.

 

there was a car in that video?

 

Couple shots.......

 

So Awesome when a 1 hit wonder FNG joins just to dig up a dead thread.

 

I think it IS "kind of awesome"
I mean I've never seen this question or this thread before so why gripe about it?

 

I wouldn't have read it if not for the FNG.... Thanks for digging it up. I really want to check out the basement at the Peterson Museum now. Awesome.

 

Late to the party, but, I believe the car was rented from or loaned by Tom McMullen. At one time, the car was in Portland, OR, where the grille was changed and a few things improved. It was owned by Larry C. at the time, then sold. It then may have gone to Southern Oregon.
