Ugly ass customs, post pics here.

I'd take a hammer to it!....LOL!

 

Hry Bob!Thats the old Clarlie Lopez merc and your right.It was eventually painted red cherry metal flake andreceived the gull wing door treatment.

 

WOW! I didn't know it was the same car. It kinda resembles the one with the T-bird nose.

 

took this at the springfeild swap meet

 

good god!!!!! looks like corvette summer made more of an impact than i thought.....................

 

[

these cars should be used as posters for birth control, anyone that can build anything as horid as these cars hould NOT reproduce

 

Wouldn't those middle tires bottom out in a driveway? Hard to imagine that somebody actually thought that shit up!!!

 

"Swing and a miss!!!"

 

Hey Bob,Which one with the T Bird nose?

 

thats big Eds in highfalls NC.. who took those?

 

This one. Well...it looks like a T-bird front.

 

Needs no explanation

 

Oh...duuuh
Yes it is.The car reminds me of a 57 Chevy four door that was built by Jack Florence in the late 50s .It had 59 Dodge front fenders hooding the headlights over a 59 T Bird grille!

 

What are your thoughts on that Chevy fastback with the Studebaker bullet-nose on it? It's orange. His buddy has a pick-up hybrid too. Have you seen it?

 

Found these.
The red one was a Dodge Lancer once.

 

Bob There are a few like that and I think anything with a Studebaker front blows with the exception of when George Cerny used Stude front fenders on a box ford but even that never sat perfectly well with me.

 

Nope,can't find it. It usually shows up at the Goodguys shows.

 

Is that Born Again 2? That has to be the worst Merc ever.

 

Yeah the Jusus Merc with all the bible sayings all over it and the station wagon roof

 

Man it's taken me an hour to go through all this. I'm hurtin from laughin so damn much..... Not only the cars, but the guys gettin their shorts in a wad.....LOL

 

Holy cow, I haven't seen those books since I was in 3rd grade. We'd go to the school library and check out books once a week. I'd get at least one of those every week. They're available on eBay and from Amazon sellers among other places. Thanks for posting the pics - I'd long forgotten who the author was.

I don't have Horses,Teen Fair,or Snowmobiles. Not sure I want them,HA HA! I hate to admit this...but I stole them all from the Library when I was 10. My buddy is in the Mighty Midgets book,racing a Quarter Midget.
They were written and photographed by Ed Radlauer,1968.

 

geeez-us. I've spent the last hour trolling through this thread with tears streaming down my cheeks (butt that is).

I really think the EPA needs to get involved.... and issue the builders of these fine vehicles with a "visual pollution" order.

 

I don't know what it is or why someone would restore it.My dad has 8mm fotage of it a 4th of July parade from the late 60's.

 

I can't help but think that SOMEONE, SOMEPLACE, has bought one of these abortions and saved it from the puke-pile by re-customizing it. If so, does anyone have a any pics? I would be interested in seeing some.

 

i think i saw that on craigslist oregon

 

OK, here's a REAL turd for ya:



I took that photo probably 25 years ago, but it still makes me giggle... I can only suppose that the poor Rolls had been rear-ended...

What else could explain this Frankenstein of a car???

 

Nah man, thats The Homer!

 

The Rolls-Riviera? It actually wouldn't be all that bad if the roof was rounded off instead of square. But a '51 Chevy rear clip would have worked better (picture that)...

 

That looks like a Dymaxion built by Buckminster Fuller, the inventor of the Geodesic Dome.
