Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

Saw this today, thought it kinda qualifies for here

 

The Buick is a 1955.

 

I have worked on lots of pipeline regulating stations in my years , I have never seen , a weather cover anything like this one !

 

Nice! Another bumper I could use.

 

I remember seeing this guy as a regular guest on a kids TV show maybe back in the early '70s.

 

"The Ghoul" https://www.imdb.com/***le/tt11295964/

 

Cleveland, Ohio, early 1970s, UHF channel 61 - when I was a kid, he was the host of the weekly Saturday night horror movies. Known as The Ghoul, his name was Ron Sweed and he just recently p***ed away. There are clips of him up on Youtube and his family keeps his memory alive on Facebook as well.

 

Well then I guess that wasn't him. This was in L.A. There must have been a look-a-like. Now that I remember a little better, he was a host during during TV airings of the Little Rascal/Our Gang shorts on late afternoons on channel 52. The intro of the show had him green screened into a clip of him leading a band of the Little Rascal/Our Gang kids. I swear this guy was a dead ringer for the Ghoul but he acted more like a beatnik type hippie.

 

I have stared at that pic countless times, and thought,"I never remembered seeing a pic of Ed Roth like that"...

Our Saturday morning "Undisputed King of the Cartoons" was Wee Willie Webber:


And the host of Mad Theater was "Dr. Shock":

 

I was born in 60, turned 13 summer of 73. Had yet to be introduced to Roth or cars as a culture but I knew who Rat Fink was and was into MAD magazines and off the wall, zany schitt like my friend The Ghoul. Cars would come a few years later, although as a kid I was really good at ID'ing cars by their taillights. Body styling was something I picked up on at a really early age.

 

I usually don't post photos that i don't have the copyright to, but i came across this awesome shot of an AA truck that i just had to share. Copyright Julien Harlaut.

 

Here's a few more stole pics along that style...

Just about guarantee you that '38? Dodge was driven to where it's sitting. Looks like a solid, buildable car
