Last night I was Googleing images for other custom cars and ran across a yellow one-off Vette with a body colored Rolls Royce grille, but I don't remember where I found it, and when I put "Rolls Royce Corvette" into the search window a short time ago, I couldn't find that one, and turned up these instead.

The straight lines and sharp angles of the hood and roof seriously clash with the swoopy curved fenders and doors. Yuck!

NYLIBUD Posted October 10, 2018 Author Posted October 10, 2018 I don't know which car is uglier,the Stutz Bearcat,or the Caballista.

espo Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 That would be really hard to get in and out of with or without a hat. A little story on Dan Blocker. In the mid 1960's I worked at a Union 76 station in Blur Jay Ca. This is right next to Lake Arrowhead in the San Bernardino National Forest. Many Hollywood types would show up to get gas or something done to their cars just like anybody else. In '65 Chevrolet gave Dan a Chevelle 396 SS to drive since they also sponsored the Pondarosa TV series. So Dan pulls up to the pumps to get gas. He opens the door and leans out and supports himself with his left hand on the ground and his right arm comes out and he grabs the roof. Then he slowly climbs out of the car and stands up. He was a very large man to say the least. We were all laughing and Dan's comment was that while he liked the car he said it was more like he wore it than drove it. Besides being one of the nicest guy you could ever meet he had a great sense of humor.

Of course...I'm nowhere near as large as Hoss!!

When I heard that Penn Gillette, who's 6'6" (and the one time I was close to him, was way over 300 pounds, maybe over 400--he has lost a lot of weight since those days, but at that point was the largest human being I'd ever personally seen) drove a Mini, I had wonder, "How is he NOT the spokesman for Mini and doing EVERY Mini commercial?
Bucky Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 I always wondered why big people drive little cars!!

NYLIBUD Posted October 12, 2018 Author Posted October 12, 2018 The more I look at the blood covered Jeep,the more I think it was vandalism.Maybe the guy cheated on his girl friend,or something.

In that case that might not be an arm on the hood. With the "wash off paint" that the sell in parts stores now that could just be a Halloween thing.
