What famous car made the biggest impression on you?

It would have to be Ed's Mysterian and the Corvette from "Hot Rods To Hell" with the teenage run amuck attitudes.

 

Little Red Wagon and Hemi Under Glass,Hurst Hemi Oldsmobile.Take your pick.All ran when I was a kid at Niagara Dragstrip Niagara Falls NY

 

5 pages and I haven't seen it on here, so I'll post it.

Chrismans' Comets did it for me. As a young kid I couldn't understand how they could stand inside the engine compartment and work on the car. Didn't understand engine set back ect. That car caused me to start buying hot rod mags to learn more.

 

Doane Spencer's '32

Eastwood-Barakat sedan

 

"Famous" to us I guess..before I was able to get a car together to take to the drags we were going as spectators, about 1965 Double Eagle Drag Raceway San Antonio..August "Hands" 56 Chevy sedan delivery, painted white with a black Schneider Cams cross on the door, lifting the front wheels a bit, flames licking the asphalt from fender-well headers. There was simply nothing cooler in the world at that point...

 

Me too. I saw it on the cover of Hot Rod in the summer of '58 at the newly opened Wyoming Public Library. This was the first big car mag I'd ever seen, and Ala Kart just knocked me over - it was so radical. Over the years I became interested in '60's Mopars, and it took Ala Kart again to wake me up. 50 years later in the summer of 2008, there it was at Borders on the cover of TRJ. I had the same reaction - it stopped me in my tracks.

 

Beatnik Bandit.

 

the 69 GTO Judge is my favorite car of all time. before that it was the 62, Polara. my uncle worked for dodge and he had one JUST like this. i remember 'helping' him wax it and riding in it when i was a kid.

 

this is mine my mom bought me the lp at the the 5&10 back in the day...and that was it love this car...

 

Times 2

 

The California Kid.

To be honest, I liked to Patrol car too.

 

Christine, Cobra, and a piss yellow ford coup

 

Stone Woods & Cook. Mooneyham and Sharpe 554.

 

Swamp Rat 4 is definitely one of 'em...

It's one dandy sweet dastardly digger...

 

For me it was:

 

The Chrisman Brothers coupe.

 

Tommy Ivo four engine nailhead rail, Mickey Thompsons twin engine Toronado drag monster, Tony Nancys cars, Art Arfons Green Monster, Bean Bandits drag cars, Sam Barris Merc, Kopper Kart which was at Barris shop when I visited there, Larry Watsons rides especially The Grapevine. A lot of drag racing heros I know, but they were so great. ~sololobo~

It was the Barris cars in general and Junior's Ford in particular.
