Customs LaRocket car

I remember gl*** wax... best gl*** cleaner ever!

 

No, but I know where there’s a bunch of polish still around.

 

Well - now we know where Barris got the idea for the rear of the Batmobile.......

 

I wonder if anyone ever won the $1000 reward for naming all 33 cars?

 

Paging all HAMB detectives to the front desk. All HAMB detectives to the front desk.

 

If anyone could do it I'm putting my money on Mark! HRP

 

I think it was in a Walmart ad with the Grinch driving it last December.

 

Mark, I thought you owned all those cool cars.

 

The mere mention of a "pyramid" scheme to become a millionaire sure conjures up thoughts of time spent in a minimum security Federal facility!

 

Looks like La Rocket was based on the 1951 Buick Experimental car "Le Sabre"

Mick

 

Bob Metz of Shelbyville Indiana.

 

I wanna know how he dissolved gl*** with x-rays...

 

I’d drive it

 

I'd be like Mark, and park it in my living room.....

 

5 bucks says Squirrel nails it!

 

Find Bonnie D and it’s probably collecting dust in her garage. Probably got it in the divorce or hid it when the feds came for Mr Dorner.
The front end looks like a caricature of Jimmy Durante, hot cha cha cha cha cha…. Lotta work in that car.

 

Bonnie died in 2015...

Some stuff on the sale and settling of the Dorner estate in Battle Creek.

Others are looking for La Rocket as well...

I first saw the post at thought there was going to be a picture of a new car in the garage.

The ad on that can is pretty amazing.
I can only imagine what the tv or radio ad would have sounded like.

 

I like the touches like the way the hood opens and the way the little “scoops” retract to become steps and close again. The organic look of the front end might scare people…..

I’d like to see some of the other cars he did. Definitely a man with imagination and metalworking talent.
