Hot Rods 60s style T-Buckets.

Definitly some cool old bucket here.

 

Just took some this week! Built in the 70s and it's looking better than ever.

 

Where were these pic's taken? Is it still owned by Dan Hollock?..............Thanks

 

Thanks Goober! The 85HP car is looking as good as ever.

 

Looks like the NTBA Nats going on this weekend in Springfield.

 

Sorry for the megablast of the same car but I really dig Jim's T.

 

Yes.

 

"Originally built by Dan Collins"


...that car wasn't built by Dan, Dan was the "caretaker" of it for awhile, and made some changes, but it was originally put together by a friend of his...
...my buddy Rob owns the car now, and it's safe & sound here in Detroit!

 

I dig it, too. What kind of radiator is he running, any overheating issues?

 

.....I think we're seein' the same guys now, they just got old and fat....

 

Actually it was Jon Dejeer.

 

Here's the current iteration of the T-Bucket that was driven to the 76 Street Rod Nat's in '75. The "Paint" is just as nice today as it was then.

Don Mabe's T-bucket in 1966 at the Great Western Exhibit Center in Los Angeles at the Motorama Car Show with the Early Times Car Club. Cobwebbed paint, quickchange, perfect example of a 60's bucket...

 

Very cool Maz. Thanks for posting.

 

Built 40 years ago. Pic taken yesterday at Back to the Fifties. No changes since built. Still owned by builder, Mike Mason. 215 aluminum Buick, 4 speed, IRS.
