    It's my pleasure Scott, as I too am enjoying that same stroll. And your story is hilarious! I bet it got told at least a thousand times at family dinners

    The Monza SS you mentioned is also very tasty. It looks quite a bit like the Monza "Fever" featured on the cover of HRM June 1976.

    You're right, I try not to be " a hater" myself. What one person likes, another may not - but as long as it moves on wheels, as far as I'm concerned it's cool! I just pulled these photos of the web, and doggone it - now I gotta go out and get me some of these (although they look pretty pricey these days). And because I'm not going to be a hater, here's the Pacer...

    Are they as cool as they look in the tiny little ad?

    I am totally in love with this Opel GT dragster! I wonder whatever happened to it. I would swear I've seen in here in Las Vegas. HRM October 1977

    Anyone ever build (or even see) these models? Not I, although I would love to have the AMT Capri Cafe Racer, Mustang II Python, the Custom Matador, or the Custom Gremlin (I guess I should have said, "anything but the Pacer Wagon") . HRM August 1977

    And who says a roadster can only be Ford? Here a beautiful '33 Dodge Cabriolet graced HRM July 1977

    1977 started out with the arrival of the Trans Am, subtly advertised in "Smokey and the Bandit" For those looking to build this icon, an article in HRM January 1977 covered it well with lots of photos.

    And finally, to round out the bicentennial, the Dave Crook '70 Firebird (the name and year are listed incorrectly in the article). HRM August 1976 A bit of googling later, and you discover that, WOW - - - this was one fly ride! And it turns out, the car was penned by none other than the same Harry Bradley who was doing design drawings for HRM.

    Richard, you are too funny! You're right, The Italdesign influence is all over the Impala! As for the topics you present, I have been encouraging anyone so inclined to upload such information to this thread and make this more of a community effort. My primary reason for this very time consuming effort has been precisely because there is so much in Hot Rod Magazine useful for our hobby, but with roughly 75,000 pages available and no index anywhere, the only other way to get the information out is by posting it. Thanks much for your input.

    Doggone it. That came out so sweet, now I gotta run out to Hobby Lobby and grab one while they're still 40% off!

    And from HRM December 1975 comes some Kenny Youngblood drawings - this time of fantasy vans

    Okay, so it's a little weird - but am I the only one who thinks a VW bug kinda' makes a cool little rod? HRM November 1975
  24. ea0863
    For the 70's custom van crowd, HRM November 1975 was chocked full of tricked out "shaggin' wagons".

    Great article on an Anglia racer. (BTW; HRM did a whole series of an Anglia build they did in various issues 1974 through 1975)
