I didn't like the straight 6 in the Red Baron so I used a spare V8 from my 3-in-1 1955 Chevy gasser instead. Sadly that's the coolest thing I've done with a car of any size. Lol. Thanks for bringing back the memory.
I worked on quite a few of those cars at Barris Kustom back in the 70s. Got to work with and learn from some great car builders there too. It's nice to see they're still appreciated.
@@leahcimthgirw3163 Some of Barris's cars were. I know the "Monkey Mobile" and the "Batmobile" were. I had those when I was just a kid before I even knew who Barris was.
I built the Boot Hill Express model as a teenager and probably all the models that Monogram produced. I finally built a real 32 coupe ( fiberglass body). Chopped and channeled, 350 chevy and 350 box
Memories.................I built many of these in plastic models back in late 60's and early 70's Hurst and Bathtub w/ Green velvet will always be my favorites.
I know a lot of these cars from when I was growing up. We would see them at the Oakland Roadster show. They had to drive into the show to be in the show. Some of them were even made into models. A very creative and innovative time in American Hot Rodding. Some of them weren't to practical but you can definitely appreciate the craftsmanship. A lot of work goes into making a show rod. Thank you
Because I grew up in the 1960's and 70's I've seen quite a few of these before. But you also showed me quite a few I haven't seen before! All of them are either really cool or really funky.
Lot of memories brought back as a kid gluing and painting some of these cars as kit models...the 70s was a time when guys would think of the craziest ideas and will them in to reality... wouldn't like to drive them as a commuter car!!.😂😂♥️🇺🇸
I liked the green hot rod Aerolithe at 627. I built the Aerolithe which Jay Leno featured twice and which has travelled the world. It is now a prime feature at the new Bugatti museum opening in Dubai. It is nice to see it inspire further designs. I have known or at least met many of the great 60s builders and owned several Barris cars, but my favourite designer whose cars I have always admired and desired to own was Ed Roth. He was equaled only by Dean Jeffries who I had the great pleasure of spending time with a few years before his passing. So few of these guys remain and there are few good enough to fill their shoes.
Seeing some of these Barris roadsters and the Barris inspired roadsters and custom hot rods reminds of going to the Oakland Roadster Show when I was a kid, but of course the Oakland Roadster Show was one of the first things that the City of Oakland let slip away.
I won't lie, some of these are utterly hideous, but there is a lot of gorgeous cars here too. Either way, tons of creativity and craftsmanship on display. A very American artform!
I had so many of these as models and Hot Wheels and matchbox cars wow I'm going to the Oakland hot rod and roadster show back in the day so cool 😎 the bad baron was my favorite as a kid 😂
Sorry but I think Dragula takes the cake, also like Red Barron and did not know there were so many Twin Mills? I like hearse cars too but they are all very cool👍
I built the model kit also of the boot hill express beautiful machine wasn't it???? Little Brothers are severely hard on big Brothers stuff!!! So I gather everyone has surmised what happened to all my models!!! And then I found out my mom actually gave them to him!!!!! That was something I never to this day forgave her for!!!!!
Some great cars, and yes I too built many of these as plastic models back in day. But at 5:20 that car was made by a Fab UK builder, Paul Bacon at Kustom Works.
My older cousin collected his plumbing company's calendar pages of Custom Rods with the Hot Girls in the picture. I spent hours in his garage as a young man. He took me to a show in Valley Forge, Pa. and met 3 of those girls. (I was 21) My cousin said to the one brunette (mid 20's), "I think your legally married to my cousin here.(pointing with his thumb at me) Very sweetly she replied, Oh, and how's that?" He wrapped his hand over my right bicep, and said feel that? "Oh You work out?" she asked, as she took a hold of it, looking into my eyes. No. No I just work a lot. She smiled. Hard Work, makes a Hard Man, she almost whispered too me. Want to get an Ice Cream? I asked? She had a break at 3, and 20 guys moaned as we walked off together. She said most guys ask her out for a drink, she liked that I wanted ice cream. I said, well it looks like you haven't eaten, so I thought I'ld fatten you up some? She swooned, thinking that I thought she was to skinny. lol! Amanda was a Doll. We dated when ever she was on the east coast untill she finally got married. Great guy, brought a Germany bus company to America. Last I saw her (in Cali, with Arnold S.) she is 74, and still stunning in a Bikini after 4 kids. She looks 25, 0 drugs, or surgeries. The one I should have. Great Cars. @1.37 The Little Red Wrecker, is one of my favorites, along with @2.11 The Red Baron with Cheryl. Both knockouts. lol!
While some of these cars, when it comes to taste are highly questionable, you can not deny that they are very 😎, I remember most of them when I was a kid, back then I would have killed for the Corvette Summer movie car!, now?, not so much!🤣🤣🤣
I remember all these car's and I might have a magazine or 2 with the car's in em and the step by step process of building a couple of em in pictorial forms...I'm wondering how many people noticed the engines that they mostly had to use. Mostly the older 50s version of a Hemi and the early 283s and probably 327s with blowers and you could actually travel in these car's. I don't think that I would wanna go very far in the badest chads stuff
I think it would be cool to do a rat rod with the exposed engine bay and the engine ripped out but hidden EV drive. It would look spooky driving. You could call it ghost rider or zombie rat!
Brings back old memories of the days once I used to put model cars together. 🚗

Weren't some of these made into a Hot Wheels car also

Man! Takes me back to my childhood in the 60’s and early 70’s. Harris and Big Daddy Roth created some of the coolest model cars in those days.
Memories.................I built many of these in plastic models back in late 60's and early 70's Hurst and Bathtub w/ Green velvet will always be my favorites.
Red Baron and Paddy Wagon.....

Yeah, them old Customs were always my favorites...took inspiration from them to my Cars throughout the years.
The ones from the 60's and 70's are the best.

Growing up in the seventies and eighties, these were cool .....today I don't see them that way anymore
About 40 years later and KC Winkler is still gorgeous!! I didn't appreciate the wild customs as I should have, but that is Kustom!
KC Winkler was one pretty lady. I still have posters of her on my walls. Whatever happened to her?
Great music. Great cars.
Monkey mobile, Surf Woody, Boothill Express.
So many customs from that era.
Awesome video , I remember most of these cars from when I was a kid .
Very cool
Mike Espo .
Love the plethora of C Cabs. I'm building one myself. Thanks
the world of wheels car shows in the early 70's👍good times!!
The 60s brought out the best and wildest creations of the hot rods...
One name, one word description.
Chuck Barris, ICONIC !!
This was really cool to see. Had the Boot Hill Express and the Red Baron models.
Nick Butler's Revenge @8 26 was and still is the best proportioned and built C cabs ever built.
Crazy, 35 of those cars I can clearly remember seeing at The Hot Rod Show at the CNE Grounds here in Toronto. Between 1976 and 1982-83.
I remember seeing the Red Baron also had the model
World needs more C cabs !!.
The Red Baron was one of my favorite hot wheels cars. The Paddy Wagon was awesome also.
I liked the green hot rod Aerolithe at 627. I built the Aerolithe which Jay Leno featured twice and which has travelled the world.

A Morgan Aeromax in British Racing Green is a thing of BEAUTY!

2:40 I love that Zip Code comes with a matching unicycle in place of the spare tire.
Alright !! Grandpa's Casket Hot Rod !! I loved that car and the family car from The Munsters 😂
Love these hot rods had some in model's back in 1968 to 1970
I won't lie, some of these are utterly hideous, but there is a lot of gorgeous cars here too. Either way, tons of creativity and craftsmanship on display. A very American artform!
Beautiful cars in the 70s people did make some artistic cars i hope the craze comes back one day
I do too.
Yea- those custom electric cars will be totally groovy! 🌸✌️🌺
I haven't seen these cars since I was a boy that was a long time ago sure brings back memories
I hate to input anything negative but I lived near the Barris museum and if you saw some of the cars up close you would be very disappointed
A lot of cool custom kars from the 60's. You missed the Tijuana Taxi, though.
I had so many of these as models and Hot Wheels and matchbox cars wow I'm going to the Oakland hot rod and roadster show back in the day so cool 😎 the bad baron was my favorite as a kid 😂
Excellent beautiful sublime immortal Custom RULES 🚗⚜️
Some of these are icons
Seen some of these at hot rod shows amazing machines
I need to build a mind blower. Maybe soon.
Sorry but I think Dragula takes the cake, also like Red Barron and did not know there were so many Twin Mills? I like hearse cars too but they are all very cool👍
I have seen all these cars when they were First Shown 👍
Took a little brain power but remember building the beer wagon model
I remember 'Revenge' (5.31) it used to be a dark green I think. A British build.
One of them looks like the, "Boot Hill Express' which was a model made by Monogram.
You are correct. There are several of these vehicles that are or were available in kit form.
Many of these cars were made into models
I had and made the Boot Hill Express model as well as the Red Baron
I built the model kit also of the boot hill express beautiful machine wasn't it???? Little Brothers are severely hard on big Brothers stuff!!! So I gather everyone has surmised what happened to all my models!!! And then I found out my mom actually gave them to him!!!!! That was something I never to this day forgave her for!!!!!
# 2 car I've fallen out of a bink bed as a kid
no way for me .
Me too.
Wow wow
I likeit this car's
❤❤❤❤❤
Some classic Monogram and AMT models here....also a few were pictorialized in a bubble gum card set back in the day called "Way-Out Wheels"....
These cars are awesome Koop as
Lots of shiny chrome exhaust pipes in this video.
Not a single heat blemish on them.
2:30 I recognize that one. It's The Automatron, a steampunk themed hot rod
Liked it very much ❤
Some great cars, and yes I too built many of these as plastic models back in day. But at 5:20 that car was made by a Fab UK builder, Paul Bacon at Kustom Works.
He is in the above comments
My older cousin collected his plumbing company's calendar pages
of Custom Rods with the Hot Girls in the picture.

The one I should have.
Great Cars. @1.37 The Little Red Wrecker, is one of my favorites,
along with @2.11 The Red Baron with Cheryl. Both knockouts. lol!
All built before Woke was a thing . Great time machine of American creativity and imagination .
5:14-5:15 nice trikes.
8:15 I would have to drive this great creation . Not hide it away in a garage .
While some of these cars, when it comes to taste are highly questionable, you can not deny that they are very 😎, I remember most of them when I was a kid, back then I would have killed for the Corvette Summer movie car!, now?, not so much!🤣🤣🤣
Some of the best creations came from George Barris.
Yes you are correct.
Did anybody else notice the gremlin stock 1972 gremlin WTF oh a gremlin
At the 9:46 mark there’s a car I got a chance to see in construction. It was being built by Butch Carrol a legendary craftsman
I was telling the wife about the Druid Princess less than a week ago .
Ok, how did a bone-stock AMC Gremlin make it into this show?
Where's the taxi hot rod?😮
I think that I will build a windswept rear rake.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Where are these cars now
oh! hot wheel😄
Where is Dean Jeffries "Mantaray" ..
Epic !!
What is the tune @ 6:10?
0:25 Crossley Hot Rod
The car at 2:48 I believe was jon bonhams.
All I see is one car. A Chevy engine with half of the car missing with the headlights in the wrong place.

❤, 😁
Some of these arent real. But still cool
It should have included the Delorean and some other character cars...
But they are not Hot Rods. Some of the ones shown were neither Hot Rods, nor Customs, AMC Gremlin?????
That's my car at 05 20 automatron
Awesome.
I was waiting to hear.....a horse...🐴..........lol....
I see a lot of barris in these cars.
and Roth....
Would it be IRONY or coincidence if you died in the coffin car?
Definitely irony.
@@RoadsideAttractionss Yeah, I'm kind of thinking BOTH now lol
Roth
Alot of the concepts are stupid and a complete waste of money
Thank U So much, thinking about world of wheels in Hollywood never buying 🇨🇷🐺🙏🏁🏁🏁🇺🇸
