Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

The Dobie Gillis Show ( Thhe Many Loves of Dobbie Gillis). Late '50s Situation Comedy. Dobbie was the straight man, featured Maynard Krebs who was an off beat Beat Nic, he later became Gilligan on Gilligan's Island.


Don't know id this will count as a hot rod and its far from done but there won't be much homogenized about it when it rolls under is own power.

 

Dobie days...before my time but some real cool Hotrod connections on that show. Crosley...Hotrod...absolutely...

 

I used to stay up and watch it with my dad.

 

It's not an Allard. It's much smaller. The picture was taken in late 40s/early 50s Germany. Looking through the grille of the front car, it looks like a Ford axle. I'm guessing its a Ford Eifel/Taunus special. The cars behind it are the Baron Special, Petermax Müller Special and the Petrix-VW. All three are VW-based (am I allowed to say the dreaded v-word?).

 

Back in the day did these make they're way around the racing circuits on North American soil?

The similarities sometimes are enough to make one think that similarities were more than coincidental.

 

What's wrong with that picture?

The real Bob Denver

 

That's freaky. I thought the "death to America" print on the shirt was weird.

 

I didn't even read it. I just thought Bob Denver was better looking when he was young like the rest of us.

 

Cool! Not just blisters in the hood but the bubbled inner fenders are gone, looks very cool.

 

There is a link to the shop that built it back a page. I certainly enjoy the fact that new builds go backwards in a sense...there is a lot that's been done that doesn't get any better...

Jim Pantalls car had a British Riley RME engine and trans IIRC. I spoke to him briefly at a show, many years ago and he was wisecracking about how slow it was.

 

I would like to see other Hamb friendlies he put his magic into. I first saw this on a Pendine video.

 

For everyone that was offended by my lack of knowledge of foreign dignitaries. Let me say this, I am all about politics and yes I purposely went out looking for something political to post.

The truth be known the character that Denver played in the show was politically polarizing. He was a beat nick, IE anti establishment. I did not choose the photo for that reason but believe what you want. If it makes you feel taller to think I am against Merica then I'm your huckleberry.

 

I am just a bit embarrassed that I knew it didn't look like Bob Denver but I didn't look closer. So much for eye witness accounts. Maynard G. Krebs never seemed like a very political character to me but then I went to college at the other end of College Avenue from Berkley in the '60s. Those guys took their politics seriously.

 

As far as I know, none of these ever came to America (but I wouldn't be surprised if a soldier managed to bring one home). The Peter-Max Müller car was found in Europe a few years ago & restored.

Don't need no stinkin cowl...Another interesting thing of note on this wild ride is the Tubbed wheel wells
which I have always thought was a more modern addition. Love the shimming of the front spring too.

Good stuff, Stogy! This thread just keeps on going ( the "endless line" )

 

Both those girls look fantastic !!! Is that picture photo shopped ?

 

Don't think so Verde. Click on the link and read the story. This fella Jeano owned the famed Bernardini Roadster, raced, modded and showed it from 1955 till at least 1961. Maybe thats his wife and her friend. I agree great shot and that is one awesome 32...one of my faves. This fellow Jeano was in the club the Pacers and was a flagman.

 

Must be photo shopped as the girls don’t have tattoos!

 

Yup- no umbrellas either! Not very "traditional"............
If one of those young lovelies IS his wife, whatta lucky guy! OOO-La-La!

 

It wouldn't surprise me from all accounts in the story he was a fairly successful man and to this day still has it all...
