    I like to think of a "traditional" car as something that can actually be used, as in driveable!

  6. You just gotta look harder.

    While wacky, in no way is it traditional.

    Not Trad, but I think its kinda cool, in a cartoony sort of way. It looks just like a muscle machine I got hangin' on the garage wall

    Not traditional. Too high buck; too high tech; and too far out! Then again, that's what they said about Roth's creations almost 50 years ago. It all depends on what tradition you're talking about.
    :rolleyes:

    Look close, no big eyed monster but it has a serious large handful of ashifter stickin outta the roof. There is also a website somewhere that i have seen that shows it driving. the radiator is in the trunk on it and everything is fully functional. It was also featured in Street rod Builder a lil while back.

    Not my style of car.
    But I'm sure these things were said about Big Daddy's creations too.
    Its artwork.. Big Daddy would dig it!

    yep... those weird shapes are vaguely familiar.........

    I think that dude had lots of money and built himself a show car. I bet the tire treads still have the little nubs of rubber sticking out. But, that's cool if that's what turns his fan.....
