Any Hambers out there know where the "King of the road" '57 chevy ended up? The tales from the crypt series was a little lame, however the episode starring Brad Pitt was CQQL and that wicked '57 got my blood pumpin'.....be cool if one of you guys had it stashed away....John photo prints photobooks posters mugs stickers photo disks and more <!-- End - formFullView --><!--maxContainerWidth: 665maxContainerHeight: 540minContainerHeight: 405mediaWidth: 1024mediaHeight: 768scaleToContainer: -->65%<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> Event.observe($('fullSizedImage'), 'load', function(event) { pageTags.addTagListToImg('fullSizedImage', [ ]); }); </SCRIPT>
Good question. I used to watch that show alot when I was a little kid. Edit: Found a youtube clip with the car race at the end... <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nMntu7ffg4A&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nMntu7ffg4A&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
Hahah, damn I thought I was the only one who ever saw that episode. It was cool as hell. But back then all I cared about was the 65-66 Mustang that was getting an oil change, or whatever it was. Edit: For your edification... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0716857/
Saw that one too sometime ago... Brat was cool then. Kalifornia rules. Didn't remeber that that Chevy was so cool!!! Real cool!
When someone asks me about the missing front bumper on my '57, I tell them it's sitting in my back yard, right where it belongs. This usually leaves them with a confused look on their face.
I am still looking for this "King of the Road" '57 chevy...I hope there is someone out there with some insight on it's whereabouts....I just watched the movie again....a little cheesy but cool.....John

I have wanted to know where the ICEMANS car was as well. It's one of the coolest looking 57's I've seen in a long time. I'm thinking of cloneing it. I have the box set with this one in it. I'll watch it and look at the end to see who built it and let you know.
Sorry to bring back a two year old thread but I just saw this episode and I want to know what happened to that 57 Chevy!
I have always wondered about this car too. If I was to ever clone something this would be the one......who cares how old this thread is eventually somebody will know what happened to the damn thing!
We need to start a group just to hunt this car down! I agree if I ever had a 57 Chevy I will clone this thing. and we need to hunt down the original "Bad Road, Wretched Road" by Warren Zevon as well.
