I knew I had a couple too, until I started watching and remembered it was more than a few.😄 I had "Ice T", "Red Barron", the Yellow Truck with wood, I can't see the name, I think it was the Express?.. I'm only half through.. The 70's, what a great time to be a kid.. "Rat Fink" also.. 🇺🇸👍 MAGA

Some pretty wild rides 👍😎

Love the show rods.

Those were the days I was born in 1957 always been into moded cars all my life brings back memories

I had almost all of the Models when I was a kid. Built a ton of Models back then.

A lot of these had models made after them brings back memories

And Hot Wheels.

Long live Roth, Von Dutch, Tom Daniels (Monogram/Hot Wheels fame), Barris (both brothers), Jeffries and others. Thanks for a great childhood of model building and custom car shows!

I remember as a kid growing up back in 74,75,76. I bought the car sticker paks with a stick of gum included. I would place these cars all over my school books 😊 Kids stuff back then.

I'm just a little younger add about 5-6yrs. Early 80s. 😁 when we were bored in class , we would draw hot rods that looked like alot of these cars. Not quite as good though , more like a stick figure drawing in comparison to the real thing looking back on it now.

Always brings the child out in me... Even when I WAS a child!🤣

Definitely a few later cars amongst them.. but kool all the same.

As a kid I built a good number of these cars in model form, and still have most of them...

I wish they would leave the pictures up longer so I could get a good look at the cars

We built plastic models of most of those cars thru the 70's

They all have the best wheels. Literally.

Actually the hot rod Revenge (shown at 0.02) which I built in 1976 was not just a show car. I drove it on public roads a lot and it's still being driven today. Nick Butler.

Slow it to 0.25 if you want to actually look at these cars.

That’s a lot of fiberglass.

2 of the cars are new builds from the 2000's. The Rodriguez and Galaxian. They were built in Japan at Paradise Road Custom Shop. The builder, Junichi Shimodaira, bought the "Rodriguez" to Los Angeles, then drove to it up North to attend the Paso Robles Show and drove it back. He didn't want to ship it back to Japan so he sold it to a local for $35K. The new owner trailers it, never drives it to shows. He's strictly a Trophy Hound. He threatens not to bring the car if he isn't guaranteed a trophy. He values his $35K car at $150K.

The little Redd tow truck was gonna be used on Sanford and son....Fred won the lottery and got this truck for the salvage yard.....but the show was cancelled before it happened

Loved the hearse.

I love all these cars but Fritz Schenk's Baja Bandeeto is a recent build.

George Barris was a brilliant Auto artist from The Munsters to The monkeys and much much more he was in awesome autobuilder and artist

I've seen just about all these cars before through magazines and model kits with the exception of that red beast at 0:57. Twin engines with two blowers on each of them? Dual rear slicks on each side? Just wow. Is that supposed to be a bed with a mirrored ceiling? What was (is) it named?

I wish people would bring these old style builds back. The future style is cool,but the old skool builds had more class.

yep. Earliest I spotted was '57 (Ron Aguirre's bubbletop Corvette, at 0:51), and there were definitely some post-2000 builds (like Aaron Grote's 'Atomic Punk' at 1:51), and I'm pretty sure some are even from the teens. It's a cool collection of pics, but he should just call it "A bunch of crazy show-rods" or something.

Virtually all are technically "drivable"- I recognise probably 70% of them, and the only dummy I know of is the bike on the back of the "truck" at 2:16. The truck runs and drives, but they gutted the engine internals out of the Triumph, to make it easier to lift on and off the truck, at car shows. But they're show-cars; They have a running engine, steering and brakes, because most car shows require that, but they were never meant to be driven- They're built to sell model kits, and to get kids in the door at car shows (in the 60s- 80s, at least)

@jimmyfleetwood1118

Drivable is a relative term, but for car to have been shown at the Oakland Roadster Show, it had to drive in and back out, under it's own power. On that note, I saw quite a few of these cars there.

I remember the Missouri State Fair in the 70s had a "car show" with cars like most of these and they didn't even run. The engines were fake.

This is happens when you mix the drugs of the 60s with disco and street rodding

Hot Wheels 😀

Lot of Ed Roth cars here' but most of them was show no go' hardly any ran .................
