That's great. what a beastie, but a bit big to make into a street racer surely??
Just imagine, you could convert it into a 'MonkeeMobile' :lol:
Bush Tucker Man:
The Model B is almost John Milners car, but not quite, as that was a 5-window
It's still got to be one of the coolest film cars. Ever!

Tommo:
see i hate milners coupe, it just looks a bit turd to me, the 5 windows just dont look the part.
oh and you would think its impossible to get tired of people telling you 'theres a black 55 chevy looking for you!' wouldnt ya??? WRONG!
its pretty cool though, although not as practical to drive as is possible. oh and its never been washed and it lives outside like real hot rods should!!!!

it looks cool,
hot rods arent really about speed anymore, its about having an old car thats cool, that you use as often as you can come rain or shine. The lower the better.
A guy who goes to the leeds cruise has a 50's pick up that must be a £30k truck and its got a transit diesel engine in it. its fantastic cos it means he can drive to work in it.

I know it's probably more of a cruiser, but the 'street-racer' remark was an off-the-cuff phrase.
Bar my favourite muscle cars (68 Mustang 390GT, 69 Charger, 70 Challenger, Superbird, GTO, etc....), I think I'd like a 55 Nomad, or a 53/64 Nova

Perhaps so, but I'd hazard a guess that it's what most cinema/tv watching people first saw as a 'Hot-Rod'
Yes, I know, the 1980's 'Top of The Pops' generation probably saw the 34 Ford in the ZZ Top videos before it ;)
The Pharoahs Mercury was also cool, Brian Setzer (of Stray Cats fame) bought that in the mid 80's, I believe it featured in the 'I Won't Stand In Your Way' (a 'doo-wop' track) & 'Hot Rod Gang' videos
I guess you know that the '55 was also the car in 'Two Lane Blacktop'??, but of course you did :doh:
And what an odd film that was :-k
