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

Hey Mark.........heres your TRENDERO on the back cover of this book

 

I checked it out my freshman year (1971),wonder what the book fines are up to now

 

Isn't that the Little Deuce Coupe in the background?

 

Yep, and that pillar looks like Cobo Hall.

 

I have this book too, it's awesome.

 

also looks like the 56 ford built by the Alexander brothers "Victorian" ?

 

now thats cool.........did it really run?

 

I have to say that this is one of the nicer modern bubble tops I've seen.
Awesome job...
There have been quite a few in the past few years.
I was a kid in the 60's during the bubble top show rod thing and it was super cool back then, especially to a grade school kid!
Like I said before the Mysterion takes the cake for me. I don't care if the frame did fall apart. The new copy that was built fixed that problem. Does anyone know who bought that Mysterion copy at the Peterson auction just recently??

 

Coolest car on the planet !!!!

 

Can this thread be revived? Any new bubbletop pics surface over the last 10 months???
I LOVE THIS THREAD!!!!

and I still want the ultimus...

I have a friend locally who is building one but I dont know if he wants any exposure before its finished I will look into getting some pics though

alot of very nice rides and pics... any word on the uncertian t??? i really like that one..

 

If that's the cobo hall then that is probably the year the ROTAR threw a propeller and injured a spectator.

 

LOVE this thread... a few more

 

That is unreal.........damn ..........I want to see more. Congrats on your find.

 

I have come to the conclusion that if I am ever gonna complete all the car build ideas I have rattling around in my head, I need to win the lotto, and lock myself in the shop for the rest of my life to get them finished.

 

I'd never seen that car, What's the engine in it? How many cars does that bring you up to now?

 

Who built that, Arlen Ness?

 

Mark is that the one that looks like Pac-Man?

 

That's sad. And I was a teenager in the 80s.

 

That cycle is definately in the right hands. Thank you Mark and you've got it made.

 

I think this one was at The Invasion in Dallas last sept?
