From the description: Bruce Meyer's Highboy was the first actual hot rod to grace the cover of Hot Rod Magazine - and now it's immortalized on a Forever Postal Stamp!
This was the car used for the stamp release ceremony this past June. Obviously not the McGee Roadster but close enough for the USPS to use for the event............Photo credit: Mr. Glenn Sinon.
McGee don't ya' mean ? Bob McGee......of the Gear Grinders...later to Dick Scritchfield of the L.A. Roadsters?? Is that really that car now?? The hairpins look changed. Damn hood is different too.....if that is the car today, I think I may cry. I always loved that car, and Bruce.........but if that car has changed, my opinion will change too. That can't be it..............just doesn't fit what that guy does to these old rods. Never mind, re-read your post. Yes, obviously not it. Damn smart phone won't let me reverse, or delete. Great technology here.
.................That's right............I hadn't had my second cup of coffee this morning when I wrote that. Thanks for getting me straightened out. I edited my previous post.
Wish you could edit mine......lol....I'll have to get home and delete my mess from an actual computer. I think this forum overwhelms smart phones........hell........maybe too much old iron !!
I saw the McGee car up close a few times, back when Scritch owned it. Did you know Bob McGee had the decklid welded to the lower valance, making the trunk floor accessible to just slide heavy objects straight into? (like a 'light truck', flatbed style) Hardly discernible, but still like that. Bruce Meyer restored the car faithfully, with that modification carefully preserved. The McGee roadster is truly immortal, being on the L.A. Roadsters plaque and all their copyrighted literature. It also had the starring role in 'Hot Rod Gang', immortalizing its curb-surfing and pedestrian splashing specialties.
