60s show rods and bubble tops (post pics here)

This probably belongs to someone here. It was one of my top favorites at a show a couple years ago.

 

all I can say is WOW! These are amazing I am in awe.

 

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

just bought this one

 

heres mine.

 

Is the ultimus still in existence somewhere? that has to be one of THE coolest ElCaminos I have EVER seen (minus the psychedellic paint!)
I noticed in all the photos that it has MI plates... hmmmm...

 

killer post that deserves to come back up. I was looking for pics of cushenbery cars and found this post. Xsonic pics I have never seen. Awesome. The uncertain-T killer. SO many cool show rods.

 

Hers a few I have in my photobucket, I know some arent 'correct' If you have a problem with it I dont care.

Lets bring this post back up....

Dick Fuzzy Fuerholzer send me some photos from the Darryl Starbird workshop of the Little Coffin restoration. The car will be restored back to its 1964 Version.... Coooooool!










And the "left over" parts from the Little Coffin redone version will be reused in another new Starbird Rod project.... Pretty cool tooo

 

Thanks Rik, one of my all-time favorite threads!

I still want to know if the ultimus is still around though...

 

My fave is still the Pink Panthermobile - I'd love to get my hands on the footage from the opening sequence of the cartoon series where the car pulls up to what I think is the Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood with a kid behind the wheel and the cartoon Panther and Inspector get out and walk the red carpet - very cool. Anyone have it or know if it's on YouTube or something?

PS - heard the real car's up for auction July 12th - between watching Hard Shine and the auction, I'm gonna be busy!!!

 

That thing's here in Florida at a museum in Sarasota, it's absolutely amazing, it's a very cool car indeed.

Wait, so it's going on the block? Sucks, I'll never get to see it again....damn!

 

That's what I hear - I believe it's scheduled for an eBay debut on the 12th of July - also says the car is in London, England - if so, how many did they make if you know of one in Florida? I had heard there was only one but ...

Very cool always one of my favorites.

Just out of curiosity what did the last version look like. Did it realy have that hood and roof???????/

 

Yes, yes, more please

 

best thread everrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not so nice....
I'm glad they are returning it to its 1964 version.... much better

(photos from Carnut.com)

 

WOW.... Yep Im glad there putting it back the way it was in 64 also.

 

i love this damn place.

 

Here's my 57 Fairlane.Was shown in the 60's as Golddigger then Sundown.If anybody remembers this car from the Chicago area or has any pics,contact me.

 

Lil Coffin is one of my all-time favorites.

 

Wow! i'm glad they ditched the new look of the lil coffin and are going back to the old version, that new version looked kinda crappy.

 

Saw this car or it's clone in LA last year. Was used on the cover of Beach Boys album Little Duece Coupe

 

Thats the real one..Chillie's son restored it a few years ago..

It also use to have a shwastica on the blower..but later changed into a cross..

 

the picture that "mikes51" posted is actually the pre lil' coffin. It was before starbird and the owner got bored with it and turned it into what we know as the "lil' coffin"

 

lets bring this one back to the top. if anyone can fill in the red Xs that would be great. i hate it when you look up a cool old post and the pics have disapeared. lets see ALL the bubble tops and far out 60s style freakshow shit!!
