Railfreak78 Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 That black Corvair is ... just ... outrageous!!! X2!!!! I love it. I like the boat and Scout too
Railfreak78 Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Well I noticed the thread needs some love and so here is some I found around town. Wild custom Buick Wildcat Sweet project! Here is one I like a LOT!
Blake Rogers Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 that custom Buick Wildcat brain is wicked man
Greg Cullinan Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 Meats out back not for show either,well at least it sounded mean.
David G. Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Wheels like that on a car that old still don't look right to me. Sort of like putting flotation mud paddle tires on a Mazarati.. . . . . . . ok, I'm done now
Greg Cullinan Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 I agree David,they do not compliment the car at all. Oh well,to each there own. Here's another odd vehicle,soccer mom hearse
Foxer Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Just barley got this one on the drive by. It's at Village Truck Sales near me that always has a pile of old odd trucks.
Joe Handley Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I've seen a couple Caravans like that Greg, one that was an early Caravan that had recieved a major stretch being used as a hearse and the other was a newer one done up just like that to transport the deceiced between where ever they last were to the funeral home for pre burial prep.
David G. Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I agree David,they do not compliment the car at all. Oh well,to each there own. Here's another odd vehicle,soccer mom hearse Many mortuaries here in Phoenix use those as residential removal and transfer vehicles instead of sending out a hearse. They're a bit nicer than a big cargo van and less conspicuous than a full hearse. David G.
Smart-Resins Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Is thiss for interesting cars or cars we saw while driving? Very interesting!
Smart-Resins Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 One on the out. Well out to my grandpas anyways.
Greg Cullinan Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 Smart,we ain't got no stinkin' badges.
Greg Cullinan Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 Joe and David,pretty interesting. Maybe I just never noticed one before. I agree better that a cargo van or especially a pick em up. Plus if it was. Soccer mom it would really be ideal. I've always dug hearses and flower cars any shape or size. Saw this this morning.
David G. Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Joe and David,pretty interesting. Maybe I just never noticed one before. I agree better that a cargo van or especially a pick em up. Plus if it was. Soccer mom it would really be ideal. I've always dug hearses and flower cars any shape or size. Saw this this morning. Believe it or not, I've been in this business for more than a decade, and I've never seen a flower car in person. Here in Phoenix, we use cargo vans for the flowers. I'd hate to have to crawl all the way to the front of that cargo area through all the flower muck... with a suit on. Thanks for the pic. If you don't mind, I'd like to lift a copy of it for my research file. Thanks, David G.
Joe Handley Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 That is the most bizarre flower car I've ever seen, I'm going to assume with the snaps around the top of it that it has some kind of tarp that covers the cargo area?
Railfreak78 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Wow very cool flower cars! Here is one of my favorite newer trucks. Nothing to fancy but a Bee Dodge and one beat up projects Monte Carlo that belongs to a friend of mine I haven't seen in 11 years and was able to see on New Years. Factory T-top car too. I wish it was in better shape. Also I found a nice Mustang drafting a U-Haul.
Railfreak78 Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Cant let this thread die off so.... Here are a few more I have found lately...... 1950 Ford custom? Could almost pass as Daisey's Jeep Nice Caddy! Can you spot the one vehicle that is not boring? Not rare but this is the cleanest Dooley of this style I have seen in a long time Mid 70's Grand Prix? Un-molested, lady driver 1st Gen Camaro
Railfreak78 Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 A few more... Whats left of a Stude in down town Phoenix 1st Gen Firebird with the nose in the air. I thought the style was supposed to be nose down and rear up. It was nice though. Nice 3 door I'm trying to buy this one. I have been doing foot work for over a year now. Have you EVER seen a Caddy Wagon that was NOT a Hearse?????
Foxer Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 That Caddy wagon makes me want to invest in air sickness bags if they're bringing those back. I would love to be cruising in it though!
Jon Cole Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Whats left of a Stude in down town Phoenix A stripped body shell of a Stude on a trailer... what a great idea for a model build. Too bad I don't have the time for it.
Wagoneer81 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 And to go along with this nice looking Gladiator, I give you a Cherokee Panel Truck... I found this in Daleville, IN and it was sold a few months after I took these pictures. Very few of these were made, I believe that this is a 1964 model. This is a factory vehicle. It's a Cherokee without window openings punched in the side panels and when I opened the back doors, the doorjamb was the same as on my '81 Wagoneer. This is my daily driver, the '81 Wagoneer. Point of interest; When Willys, later AMC, changed the grilles in this family of vehicles, all they did was design a grill and headlight buckets that set out in front of the original gladiator style sheetmetal. That original sheetmetal became the core support, so to speak and still exists behind my '81's plastic DOT approved grill. This would make backdating a newer Wagoneer or Cherokee pretty simple. A set of CJ-7 headlight buckets and trimrings, a Gladiator center grill, problem solved... I'm seriously considering it...
Patrick2005 Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 I saw on a tv show a few years back that they did just that, took a Wagoneer and removed the plastic grille and modified the headlight bezels to make it look the the Gladiator, which in my opinion is MUCH better looking.
Joe Handley Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) You can still get the Liberty like that overseas, same with the Cherokee's like I have when they were still being built in Austria and both were set up like the HHR panel vans on the inside. Edited March 12, 2011 by Joe Handley
