History Novelty Hot Rods - Post any pic's.

Holy crap! I'd totally forgotten about the Bugaloos! I think my brain just blocked out most of that decade out of self preservation.

 

WTF are the bugaloos?????????

 

No one built more of them than Jay Ohrberg. Check out www.jayohrberg.com

 

Not a novelty car,but interesting all the same, Buckminster Fullers Dymaxion, if I remember it right, thing it was running an early hemi

 

the erra you describe was way OT .....my favorite models pertaining to this topic were...."BEERWAGON" c-cab stake body truck, had chain drive rear axle ! ! and the "LIL COFFIN" 32 ford sedan was cool as fuck. Think the 32 was a real car not sure on the c-cab ? ?

This mare saddlebred is a novelty allright , shove a lil ginger stick up her ass she really scoots ! ! ! Ha Ha

P.S. what was that six wheeler the banana splits peeled around in ? ?

 

If you don't remember the T.V. show, you'll probably still be alright.

 

Linzi Mumford's Eight cylinder Yamaha engineed 'Double Trouble' from 2006;

Moriarity,I just got know do drive this thing on the road once in a while? Roth would have been proud!

 

this thing is Badass!!!!!! Now if I can just build one.

 

Boy, I remember that, it sure goes back aways..
What a classic.

 

That car rocks. I've seen it in person...he keeps it in the house. Drives in through the sliding glass door

He has some awesome other cars too.

 

Damn man, I built about all those kits that came out, when I was a kiddo. At AutoRama setup, I rode on headers of the 'BathTub Buggy' once.......hehehehe
in the 60's, we had the Munsters coach, SSR, Voxmobile, and many others, sittin' in a trailer next to our house for the upcoming AutoRama's, since the Torques, were the host club.

 

That is the one!

What happened to all the dingle balls around the roof?

 

I really like the Chrysler Zippo car. Best looking advertisement on wheels!

 

here's a couple to keep the thread going.

 

the one that was sold at BJ with the tvs that looked like pimp my ride restored it
i hope your buddy puts it back the way it was in the 60s

 

Hey, funnycar65, is that stage coach one of Fahrner's creations. I seem to remember a stage coach rod of some sort when I was working with him on some art work for a car show. It was sitting in his shop in Raytown, MO. I think that may have been it, but I'm not sure.

 

Kreatures, nope, the Stagecoach wasn't one of Ray's. He built the Wake Wagon to accompany his Boothill Express. The Wake was similar to the stagecoach in that it was a former horse-drawn vehicle too. But it was based upon a luxury, later 1800's-era coach, not a stagecoach. It even had beveled rolldown glass windows in the doors. I think the Stagecoach may have been built in Minneapolis.

Are you the guy who drew the poster with all the cars and his portrait? I recently scored a copy of that one after losing my original one years ago.

 

Here is another that I have not seen before.

Sorry about the quality, it is a coffin hot rod

 

barris fire truck was sold at R&M

call Cokey Corker..............if ya find origanal ones I damn sure would'nt run them

 

Wakey, wakey little thread....

 

It is truely amazing what novelty vehicles are out there.
I would never have known about a large cross section of the pic's posted.
I originally was just expecting the hot rod show novelty Barris style cars but there are folks out there with great imagination and creativity.

 

here's the Tom Daniels version of it

 

it exists? i remember playing with a hot wheels version of that same car as a kid in the early seventies.
