Ford GT40 + '69 Mach 1 = Mach40

HRM February 2013 had a drawing come to life; in this case a Thom Taylor wedge-shaped '32 roadster brought to life by Dan and Ashley Webb, along with Craig Naff. The style was reminiscent of a couple of '34 Fords done by Darrell Zipp (and known colloquially as "Zippers")

And if you think your scale model builds take forever, here is the "Indy Speedster V8" lovingly built one handmade piece at a time by a gentleman named Jackie Howerton, purchased by one Bill Lindig, turned over to Pete Chapouris and the So-Cal Speed Shop for completion, motor completed by Art Chrisman, and winner of AMBR 2012. And all that only took 18 years! HRM September 2012

Troy Trepanier '69 Ford Torino in bare metal. Oh how I wish they would have just clear-coated it so we could enjoy that metalwork forever! HRM September 2012

'30 5-Window Coupe with V12 Lincoln motor. Perfect proportions in a glorious package!

HRM May 2012 had a little trip down memory lane with the Bill Mitchell '60 Pontiac X-400 concept in the background, and the Mickey Thompson '60 Assault I dragster in the foreground. The 1960 X-400 in the photo would was apparently based on the Bonneville Of the other X-400's referred to, the '62 is a Grand Prix '63 X-400 is working up to a GTO '64 X-400 has all the earmarks of that wonderful GTO design As for the MT Attempt I referred to above, it can be had in scale model form...

Detailed follow-up article in HRM April 2012 on the heart of this beast.

'69 Roadrunner pretty much in name only. "Sweet N' Lo" should be its name!

Mutt-mobile II HRM February 2012
-
Fantastic mutt-mobile totally made for Mad Max movies! HRM February 2012
-
Okay, so money is no object. What would you build? For me, it would be this '54 Corvette ZR-1!
-
Equally rad paintwork on a Fad T

Wicked paint job on a '55 Chevy Bel Air gasser. HRM December 2011
-
A little bit more down-to-earth, but equally beautiful was Rick Dobbertin's Pro Street Pontiac J2000 engine.
-
HRM September 2011 was a tribute to over-the-top engines. On the cover was the Mike Harrah's 24 cylinder, 12 supercharger, 27.9 liter engine!
-
Smokey Yunick's '64 Indy sidecar racer. What a sad commentary on the disposability of drivers back then! But such a fun idea for a build.
-
Photo of the Murray Pfaff '59 Imperial speedster. HRM June 2011 Can you imagine the work that went into this? And I certainly would like to try my hand at replicating it in scale. More photos and article at https://www.motortrend.com/features/hrdp-1107-1959-chrysler-imperial-speedster/

Bryan Fuller Chevy "Impaler". Gotta love the name!
-
That is too cool! I look forward to seeing your build.
-
Great observation, and well articulated. I too noticed each decade ran its idea of the ideal hot rod through its own filter, but couldn't put my finger on it till your explanation.
-
Here, in HRM October 2010, you could see how far-reaching the hot rod craze was with a Brazilian '28 Chrysler roadster where old was fused with new beautifully.
-
It's so interesting to see that in 2010, the tension between old/traditional/yet anti-establishment hot rodding was still juxtaposed to new/modern/ yet very commercial hot rodding. This was especially evident as the economy improved, the auction houses were going like gang busters, and cable TV drove the classic car market to ever greater heights. (Conversely, the printed word was in steady decline owing to the internet, and one result was that HRM went from $3.50 an issue in 2000 to nearly double at $5.99 in 2010)

HRM September 2010 had a retrospective on the Oakland Roadster shows of the 60's. This small write-up intrigued me, so I had to go searching... Apparently, at one time this car was named the "Red Baron". Later on, it was painted yellow, and renamed "Stellar"
