unfortunately those super rich builds also keep our hobby going
i don't think half the aftermarket would exist if it weren't for the guys with big credit cards
Safe to say a lot of the masters of the art in the 50's drew inspirartion, if not their actual training, from the guys who were building Duesenbergs and Packards in the 30's
That's right. Be a pretty dull life if we all liked the same thing. We'd all want to drive the car, have the same woman and have the same goals in life. Not my idea of a way to live!
I thought I would be driving one of these SSRs every day, still haven't found one cheap enough. But check out this one painted like the Rod and Custom Dream Truck, very cool!
No ,I don't know what it is,,the old picture has been floating around for years and when I saw this I thought it had been photoshopped ,but saw several differences it seems to be real,
Its a fake (the bottom) but that shows how convincing the correct shots can be. Lighting tells the truth. Shadow under the rig is fairly obvious, and the shadows of the trailer on the cars look added. That being said... thats an awesome pair of pics that leaves the mind smoldering, trying to noodle out a back story.
it would be a lot of work to change the car fron a 210 to a belair,,traiolr is different,wheel bplt pattern on the red truck is for 88 and above wide pattern,,chrpme around windows,Mirrors and interior ,plus chrome suspension it the car on top, dot think anyone woul have taken time to correct hood gap and door gaps and much more,,it is possible though.
is easy to type 1 word,,shppped ,,without explanation,,why do you think it is photo shopped.,,Just curious.
Fred W Mills The second picture is photo shopped. That Chevy COE, the car trailer, and the four '56 Chevy's are in the parking lot of the Keystone Truck and Tractor Museum in Colonial Heights. I saw it last Saturday and it looked just like it did in the top picture. The cars are all in extremely poor condition. I think the museum intends to leave them just as they are now.
The truck wasn't even parked in that parking lot when it's photo was taken, everything about that photo is shopped. The relation of the truck to the ground screams that.
The high definition of the colors and lines on the cars on the trailer don't match the truck, it's fake.
I found their site,
That is an amazing collection,i scrooled down thru pictures some vehicles like I have never seen,,,but not mich on the carrier,,i know the red one is a different truck there are to many differences,,like the trailor has been shopped onto the red Tractor,,
Just imagine in the late 60s you could walk into a dealership with $5000 or less in a couple cases,and druve home a Brand New car like this,,and IF you had kept it some of these would be worth over $100,000 +,,
some might not recognize the last Dart,,it is a Mr Norms GTS came with 383 ,,but was replaced with a 440 Magnum Super tuned. almost to the point of not being able to be driven by the public.
