1950s 1960s Hot Rod Movie Stills & posters

Good afternoon fellow knucklebusters, I hope that wherever you are geographically, that winter is treating you kindly. It's a sunny and fairly mild 52 degrees here in east Tennessee today, so for now old man winter is at bay. I have a little bit of time before I toddle off to school (I'm 55 this year and (probably naively) enrolled in and started an automotive technology class at the local tech school in hopes of a later-in-life career change and the ability to wrench on my own stuff). I'll post a handful more items of automotive movie ephemera and chip away at the list a little bit more. Sorry for the image size of some of these. I'm a tech dinosaur and haven't figured out yet how to properly resize the files.

A 1 sheet (very likely already shown much earlier in this thread) for an AIP quad-feature. Even though these movies only tend to be an hour or hour and a half-ish long, I can't imagine sitting through 4 of them at the theater or drive in.

I posted a window card for this title in one of my first posts, but here's the insert:


Same deal with this one. I think the 1 sheet appears in my previous posts, but I acquired an insert for this title as well:


I'm not sure what the genesis of this poster is. It's in the spirit of the reimagined movie posters that Mondo/Alamo Drafthouse and many others do, but I don't know the artist or source:


These are (obviously) for the same title. I was happy to run across the pressbook, just so I'd have something from the title to display, but then I had the good fortune to score a 1 sheet for it:



In the same vein as the Taxi and Hot Cars posters, I had an insert for this title, but managed to get a 1 sheet:


A couple more entries from the Pixar world, bus shelter posters for Cars 3:



And lastly for this post, I think I probably posted these Mexican lobby cards for Suenos de Gloria previously, but here they are framed, and are currently up on the wall, although this picture doesn't show that context:


Thanks as always for having a look. Watch this space, as there's quite a bit more to post. Have a great day!

 

Bat Man 1949

 

Hey hot rodders, it's the wannabe back with another handful of posters for what we can all be sure were cinematic gems, bordering on Academy Award winners.

First up, a German A1 size (about 23"x33") for Winning:


Fury On Wheels 1 sheet:


Lobby card set for Hot Car Girl:



Another lobby card set, this time for Roadracers:


Hot Rod style A half sheet:


Treffpunkt Paris (English title - They Were Five) German A1:


This 1 sheet I posted in another thread that was started about this theatrical short film:


And lastly for this post, another one that I posted in a separate thread (sorry about the repeats) an insert for Hot Rod (on which, it would seem, the image for one of the roadsters got flipped, so it shows one being right hand drive):


That's all I'll bore, er, entertain you with for now. Y'all have an awesome weekend!

 

Hers a few stills from Gila! Which was a 2012 remake of the giant Gila monster from '59.

 

No tattoos.
No steel in the face.
No women with half shaven heads.
No men with Shirley Temple hair or Mickey Mouse man buns.
No swearing in public.
WHITE t-shirts.
And these were the cool kids.

I wanna go back.

Mr. Wizard...
Help me, Mr. Wizard...
Please, Mr. Wizard...

 

I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but great pics from Gila! Thanks for posting. I took a quick look on google to see if there was ever a promotional poster released for it (because posters are my thing). There are 3 posted on sci-fi movies.com, but they're likely just digital art. Here's the most interesting one:


On another note. The first page of this thread features pics of an article by jimmy lydon called "America is hot rod crazy", posted by rbantique. The article is only 3 pages long, but I managed to get my hands on a copy, so I'll repost it here, including page 2:

 

Rockabilly WOW !
thanks for posting a great run of posters
