Hot Rods WHERE ARE THEY NOW: CARS OF ROCK

That doesn't look like Billy Gibbons....

 

Wasn't there an yellow '29ish roadster pick-up used in the opening credits of 'Happy Days'? I think Ralph Mouth was driving & it may have been fenderless, crs....

 

The Happy Days roadster pickup is owned by Jerry Duncan out of York Pa. It showed up for sale at Carlise , back in the mid 80's. He has it up and running, last I knew.

 

"Competition Coupe?" What coupe? All i see are roadsters.

 

I think it just blasted by them..
That is what they are all looking. Lol

Well I should of read the whole thread before I posted. It was around the corner and 5 miles down the road by that time!

 

One of the cars of rock....

 

Ummmm...... Yeah.

 

So I'm driving back from a friend of mine's house in Powell Ohio.
As I am at the traffic light Just past the Columbus Zoo headed west to Dublin. Lo and behold I see this beautiful '32 Vicky headed East over the dam and stopped at the light. It's Eric Clapton out for an early Fall blast in his Vicky!
He lives just north of Dublin and does spend some time at this home, the Vicky was built @ Brizio's shop about 10 years ago and was in the Rodder's Journal before he took delivery.
KK

 

Why would they unfrench the headlights.

 

Stanlow, I noticed that too. I did some research and if you look at old pics and the videos the lights were not frenched. I didn't think the scallops were exactly the same and thought maybe it got repainted.
Then I found the following thread and someone said there was a second one built (the one with frenched lights and the crests) for the show circuit.

Kirk Hammett's (Metallica) '36 3w. It's since been painted black. He has some other customs as well.

Billy with my deuce sedan and Evin Veazie’s Model A. This was a promo shot for his last solo tour.

Knew about the Sonny and Cher mustangs, Didnt know about the Cher 56 ford truck.
But then they among many stars could have had many and I wouldnt have known

 

Cripes
How cool is that!

 

I decided to see if Ole Junior was touring around and as luck has it, He is playing with Reverend Horton Heat in Buffalo in around 2 weeks.Just got my tickets!! The wife is going and is thrilled!! Thanks

 

I believe the beach boys album cover "Little Deuce Coupe" was owned by a North Jersey Street Rod member. I would see it at some northeast rod shows in the 70"s

Pat

 

I checked it out too. I am going to his Alexandria Va. show.

 

That is over the TOP cooooooool!

 

James Hetfield's (Metallica) '53 Buick was featured in Rodders Journal a few years ago.

 

And James Hetfeilds bucket

 

That T-bucket was Dennis McPhail's. He sold it to James and later bought it back. He then sold it, I believe it went to Japan.

 

Do fake dead rock stars count?
