So what exactly is/was the "Lobeck Look"?

I am not that familiar with Barry Lobeck or his shop. I keep hearing the term the "Lobeck Look". What exactly is the "Lobeck Look"?

 

"Chopped, BLACK"

"BLACK and CHOPPED"

Nuff Said, Have a Good Day..................................................

 

Don't know how to describe it, but I know it when I see it.

 

Google images "Barry Lobeck hot rods" and you'll see for yourself

 

it's the Ohio look also

 

Look here;

It is the Ohio look, or maybe even more specifically the Southwest Ohio look. The Springfield/Dayton/Cincinnati area. (Barry's shop was originally in Springfield)

It's hard to describe, but a lot of it has to do with profile and stance. Some things they have in common are straight spoke Americans/ETs or Halibrands. Small VW tires in front and stuff as much meet as you can in back. Also, you have to sit low in the car, most of the time you can barely see the guy's head above the window sill. (You think I'm joking, but I'm not) Solid colors and for the most part, traditional bodies (kept the door handles, hinges, etc) Commerical headlights on Deuces and 33/34.

Like mentioned above, google "Barry Lobeck", "Cincy Street Rods", or "Ohio look"

Finally, The Rodder's Journal did an article about a couple of Springfield rods and tried to explain it too... probably better than I am.

 

I know the look when I see it, Bearclaw rear wheels, heavy rake, and dark maroon paint.

 

I remember seeing his cars with Big Window Halibrands in the rear, and little ones in front. Usually a 32 Roadster highboy.

 

Solid hood sides but lots of louvers on the hood top.

Parallel four-bars or maybe hairpins.

 

Really? I thought this was the Ohio look:

 

Like that ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

no, that's the Riverside, CA. look, land of the dirt people........

 

BLawrence from the HAMB owns one. It's the only roadster I can sit comfortably in at a little over 6'1" tall

 

no, this is the Springfield Ohio look.

 

Here is a pic of the man with some of his "look":

 

If you are going to bag on somebody, at least learn how to spell your insult correctly...

 

HAHA, the Riverside look is a pair of acid wash jeans, a Van Halen '87 World Tour t-shirt and a 1/4 pound of Meth stuffed in the door panel of your El Camino.

 

yea but they got the hair cut right.

Must have worked for Brisio at one time or another.

 

Hey, coming from Cali, that really hurts ! Lmao

 

I beleive this CLOWN was stopped by the California State police and charged with 3 counts of common GOOF........I don"t think he"s from Ohio....... They aren"t innerbread in Ohio.......This guy has that look...

 

That isn't quite as bad as the California look:

 

He had stance , profile and stagger down to an art form when everyone else still had 60 series tires hanging 3inches out of the front fenders .

 

This question was just answered a few days ago on another thread.....I don't know how to post a link though.

 

Yea, but the kids are playing in this one. So.....

 

that must be the new west virginia water fall the is all the rage with the young kids these days!!!!

 

ha ha ha
