History of the Lone Wolf

Why does the wolf look lilke it's sick or has rabies

 

Those are cool. I've never seen those versions. The one with the top hat is the best!!

 

BTW, the Aces No Club plaque was designed by G V Gordon here on the HAMB.

Two more

 

Sorry Orn, I'm claiming photoshopped on your second one there

 

But Lenny's jacket read... ONE WOLF
a screwup on his jacket,
but I guess lone = one...

 

I remember an AMT model from the early sixties coming with a small decal for a license plate that had "No Club Lone Wolf" on it. Bill

 

This one? .....

​

 

OK, that was REALLY gay until you got the the strippers & cocaine part.

Good save.

If I remember, it had no club lone wolf on it but that could very well be it. It was about 61 or 62. I had a bunch of those AMTs. That sheet does look familiar. Is that from a 3in1 '32 coupe kit or 36 coupe-roadster kit?

 

Yeah, you right about that but the first one is genuine.

 

Don't remember what kit it came in but I probably bought both of the kits you mentioned. I do remember building a 36 3W.

 

I had the 36 3 window too, so that must be it. Had skirts and a Packard grille. Bill

 

Did some looking around and low and behold I do have an original Wolves plaque. It is one of the heavier die cast ones that Speed Gems did for JC Whitney.

How many do you want

Dennis

 

Put me down for one!!

 

So I was checking out the thread on an Accessory Dash for the Model A, and got sidetracked in the link provided and found this;



[SIZE=+1]"Vince Falter, a Model A owner and regular contributor to Dale's Model A WWWBoard from Pontiac, Michigan shares the interesting license plate topper shown in the picture below. According to Mr. Falter, this original 1928 license plate topper was used to introduce "The New Ford" as the Model A was called in 1928. The license plate topper was supplied by the Kiowa Motor Company of Lone Wolf, Oklahoma.[/SIZE]"

 

Yeah, what you said. That photo was taken from my site below.

And Lenny's Telecaster in this pic wasn't made with that pickup until 1972. I had one put on an Esquire (a one pickup Tele) in '71, and the guys that did it said it didn't make sense. Later I told them Leo Fender thought it did.

 

I guess they could'a had one that said Lonesome Polecat.......

 

too funny

 

The term in it's purist form refers to a young male wolf that doesnt run with a pack.

 

hey !!! i just seen that line in some movie .... i must have rented it .... guess you own it .... HA HA HA ,,,, funny shit !!!!

I remember back in the 50's when car clubs were everywhere. They outnumbered motorcycle clubs. We would go into junkyards pull out an old car, rebuild it from donor parts and we were out in the streets and off our feet. The Lone Wolf plaque became popular for those who could not get into or weren't in a legitimate club..

The tear in the eye on the plaque was to represent a pittiful resolve for "Non Club" members.
You could still go to the hangouts if you were not affiliated with the clubs but hanging that plaque meant you weren't with the "squares". Car club members kinda tollerated you.
You could get the plaque from Honest Charlies or even J.C. Whitney.
Thats what I remember.

 

Laverne stole Lenny's jacket L for her sweater. his jacket read ONE WOLF...

 

Wow. I'd love to have a repro of that one.

 

Love this cool historic info. I have used sololobo for years after living in California and becoming good friends with a lot of Mexican employees and hotrodders. I love the Mexican traditions of familia first and the hospitality from these folks cannot be equaled. So I am posing as a whiteboy digging Mexican tradition as ~sololobo~. Here is my jacket logo done by my chainstitch gal. ~sololobo~

 

Larry,that`s one cool jacket bro!

 

Hahahaha! That's a good one!
