60s show rods and bubble tops (post pics here)

That's always good to hear every once in a while.

No problem man. Like I said, I'm a fan, so when I find a pic I scoop it up. I'm hoping someone else has more. I've never seen a full shot of the car in color, only the one close-up with the fade paint.

 

here it is...

 

I dont know much about this T bird but its cool.

 

Where the hell are all these customs today!! Been scraped or are they lurking in some forgoten garages around the country?

 

its a car from the road rockets. tri five t-bird that tom culberton & the boys built. they started with a rusty shell!

 

Joe Cruce's Crucifier... I love this thing.

 

This was built in the late 50s by joe muffick of Taylorville,Il

 

I was told that it is in texas and going to get restored by one of our own Hambers. Im not sure about this and if he wants it to be known Im sure he will say something.

 

Midwest show rod from late 50's

 

I've posted these before but figured I'd run them up again.Mostly from the Autorama in Boston ca.1963.The other one(the chopped and sectioned 54 Merc)was at Tedeschi's Market(the flywheels auto show in Braintree MA)a little before that.Supposedly this car still exists hidden away in a garage.

 

Why do I get the feeling this car was painted many different colors?

What a great thread, this is an era when headlight arrangement was elevated to a true art form.

 

absolutly the best thread of pictures ever

 

it's right up there!

some guys go nuts for pics of lakes racing, etc. for some of us these 60's pics are the shit! especially the large color pics of cars you don't see much. there were certainly a lot of turds during that era, but still lots of perfectly done customs.

more please!

 

I think it was painted 5 times (from what I've seen) total

 

All these pics have convinced me...Ya gotta love chrome !

 

Some more... we have to keep this post alive!!!


Some Alexander Bros creations

 

I really wonder where most of these cars are now.

 

great pictures would like to know what happen to the 36 3 window it was a famous custom in the early 60,s

 

Only bubble top i could find in my pics...

 

Elrod-....You are a mad man. I dying ...You should do one with Marks head in it..

 

I found a few more...














Shown before... just a litle larger this time...

 

Yep, that one does it for me, too..... reminds me of the car shows I would go to as a kid for some reason.... I look at that and I can smell the old IMA sports arena in Flint, MI, where I grew up....

 

A couple of those pics i've never seen !!!!...........Thanks Rikster......... got any more?

 

great post.. For those that feel they dont contribute, here is a easy way. get out your old mags and scan some pictures (or take close up pictures) for us guys that dont own any old mags. Lets see more of those early '60 show cars..
