Art & Inspiration Pictures: Stink bug stance

Post pictures (preferably old ones) of cars that have a serious stink bug stance. The rear should be high and the front should probably be lowered a bit. I'm not wanting "rubber rake" cars because I think the wheel sizes look out of proportion. And, of course, 70s-style cars aren't allowed.

Here's what started this thread idea. I'm also looking for a particular picture of an early Falcon that fits the bill.

My avatar had a serious stinkbug stance when I got it, but it sucked big-time. The headlights pointed at the ground, even on high beam the lighting was bad (and no one flashed me). It also put the front bumper low, so much so that it dragged going into driveways and whatnot. I finally put 2.5" lowering blocks in the rear, much better...

Pre-lowering blocks



Thought I had an 'after' pic, but I don't..

 

I don't mind the rake but the 40 is too exaggerated for my taste, I tend to be more subtle.

 

It is on the edge of or over the line of being too much. But that's what makes it kind of fun to look at.

 

I came across this one from the thread that's linked below:

Stink Bug Style...

 

Hey Steve, I have a few more miles on my tires than most here and this " stinkbug stance."
was never known as a rodding term here on the west coast, that I recall, and I do not remember this radical stance out here either, being that popular after WW II. Now if ya wanna talk "tail dragger(s)", way different story..............

Later in history I recall the fad returned once again, this time beginning in So. Cal. with the term, the car was "Dagoed" (Any guesses as to why, that term from the gang here?)

Over hill.

 

It’s referring to the dropped front axle @34Larry

 

Well if you ask me there’s no bug quite like a “Stinkbug” .

 

Not quite as stinky as that '40, but at least a little smelly

 

They got that car looking pretty cool.

 

I think that one might have a more "righteous tilt" than the 40 in #1.

 

Could stink bug be called extreme California rake?

 

Good “stink bug looks”

 

Only when they had 6 foot flared chrome dump tubes under them.. in 61-62 on Fridays and Saturday night on Hawthorne Blvd you could count 5 at every light and most were 59-60 Impalas.

 

Agreed

 

why is a 32 preferred to 30-31

 

I found it on my phone.

 

X-Sonic; hydraulics.

 

My old Deuce pickup had the stink bug look. HRP

 

Mine has it

Mine has it, the front has been raised slightly since this older picture.

 

the stinkbug was popular in the early 70s. look at the thread about big tires sticking out. we had to raise the rear to clear the wide ovals.
