    I can't be certain, but I could almost swear I saw pics of it at a junkyard in CA. Guess I'm not helping...

    Those are Chrysler Imperial headlights. If you end up doing a clone, hit me up on Los Boulevardos, I have a set.

    Regardless of taste , that car is too new for the HAMB. Isn't it pre-65? I do remember that car from the "World of Wheels" when I was little, but haven't seen it since.
     
  11. its either a 67 or 68 impala its kinda kool in a 70's lowrider showcar kinda way

    And they were smart enough to realize that the off topic stuff shouldn't be here, hence they have their own site... :rolleyes:

    It's a little late, but IS one of the slightly later cars that really take to traditional style Customizing.
    I'm not a fan of the mural theme, even though Elvis was cool, but the car itself is nice. I wouldn't mind having it and going with a milder paint job to allow the sleek lines to show better.
    I think it squeaks in here just under the wire on style alone...

    I'm not giving him a hard time,just answering his question. The car is a 68 and I believe the HAMB is pre 65 . He asked .

    I'm not sure if the junkyard comment was serious or not . Someone on here is bound to know something about the recent whereabouts .

    Ya gotta wonder what happened to all the old show cars of this era. Every now and then they pop up on Ebay all roached out. Strange to see. Being a lowrider guy I think most of them saw thier fate as they were torn down for the re-do after the car was stale on the show scene. Happens all the time lowriders are big one uppers. Follow the owners cus the car would chang sceme year to year to stay on top.
     
  26. Yeah what the hell is up with that???I hate glass.At least that car is real steel.It's not like he posted pics of a import quit hating.

  28. Not big on the murals, but as a custom that's pretty slick.
     
  29. I think it's pretty cool! Hope you find it bomba...
