Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

tow vehicle is a high boy also. what truck had a fuel filler in the rear? angled bed sides puts it older than '54 [?]

 

That's a pretty spiffy Hotrod...I'm sure buddy there is dreaming a little.

 

My favorite trailer. Sorta fits here.

 

I remember that...wouldn't that be an interesting feeling getting on and off.

Hamber @SamIyam's former Hotrod...

A pretty popular Hamb build some time ago...The Roach Rod?...I think...

Different but with style.

 

Hamber @Bondo Slinger's Curvehugger
I'd say looking pretty cool, together and mobile at this point...

Stogy, the spare tire was covered in red and white striped canvas as was the top insert. The body color is red and white. Thanx for liking my rig.

 

Thanks Solo...You had a really cool ride to cruise around in that's for sure...
Throw up a couple more pics...do you still have it?

A couple more jalopies from @sololobo's collection...

Quoted...

"The story behind this Roadster that was told to us is that it was raced in 1957 in the Whelen All American Sportsman Series and won the Championship in it's division in 1957. It was driven and built by Bill Matheny of Savannah. Ga."

I've been trying to think of a situation where that would be better than four wheels. All I can come up with is if you only had two wheels. Then why not a motorcycle? Maybe he started with four legs and is transitioning to four wheels.

 

I have my doubts there were many sold and it must have been hell on the stomach....

 

I'd like to see the winter version with skis on front and snow shoes on the back. The whole front looks like Model T stuff. This is definitely not a "Homogenized Hotrod".

 

That was probably an option...
Honestly its typical of the genius that is largely archived in the patents of the past. Many were poo poo'd off into you gotta be kidding land and airbags was one of them...even independent suspension and coil springs were around very early in the evolution. To early for their time.

While this main featured Jalopy is typical of the awesome racers that they were I am always peering into the backgrounds for what everyone is up to and driving.

There is one racer in the background that appears to have a flip front end. I am not remotely close to knowing when things evolved but that is a pretty early version of something that became a popular thing to do to Hotrods and Racers.

Opinions welcome.
