Just thought I'd share some photos of wacky cars built by the custom car gods of yesteryear.
These cars were all the rage at carshows back in the 60's and 70's especially if the car show was hosted By Hot Rod Show World. I personally think these kinds of cars are inventive and fresh thinking and wild and really show that the creators heart went into them.
I can remeber seeing all of these at one time or another. These are the kinda of hotRods I really wish were still being built today. But alas I don't think anyone would "get it" Now.
Some you may have seen some you may not have.

enjoy!

I've actually driven next to one identical to the Popcorn Wagon. Could have been it but I'll never know. It was on Beach Boulevard in Jax.
