Pretty sure 88 is a Robur but those with moar knowledge will no doubt confirm/deny

I think you're right - I'll stick me neck out and say it's a Typ (sic) LO 2002.

Posted

About 70% of those are things I've never even heard of.  That would explain why I was struggling.  There was me thinking it was going to be a challenge this batch too.

Posted

Gone through and updated.  That Robur (#88) looks more like a later LO3000, little trim details on the front make it a better fit to my eye than the earlier 2002.

 

87 is a 1977 Holiday Rambler Motorhome

82 I now know is an Austin 20 after finding this:

1967.jpg

 

83 is a 1928 Morris Commercial 1 Ton Lorry, managed to find some better pictures of it after running the plate through DVLA and finding that it's actually quite an active vehicle

81 might not be a Trojan after all!  In the images for 83 I found this.

 

800px-Morris_Commercial_LC5_%281953%29_%

 

That's a Morris Commerical LC5.

90 - I can only think of a Suzuki Wagon R, but it's not.  Or it is and it's just had a lot of work done.  I can't decide.

2004 Suzuki Wagon R

91 is a Pontiac - a 1965 model, probably a low-spec like Catalina

Posted

I think the Volvo is a 544 as for the others - Junkman is yer man when it comes to those US customs

Posted

The wheels on 95, the double fronted police car, make me think it's made of Fox Body Mustangs. Definitely Ford anyway.

97 is a custom Corvette C1.

The pink car is definitely an Alto, and I agree that the first one is mostly likely a variation of Wagon R.

Posted

76 - the bus on the right (DBC 190C) is actually an AEC Renown rather than a Regent V. They both used the same grille and cowling but the Renown had a lower floor. This one has an East Lancs body and was new to Leicester City Transport. Confusingly the one on the left is a Regent V but has the older style of exposed radiator that some customers preferred.

94 = 1960 Mercury. Probably Colony Park......anyway its obviously the station wagon

Posted

97 is Bob Joas' 57 Vette.

After he had an accident, he took it to Bertolucci's shop in Sacramento and had it completely redone.

It was subsequently shown at the 1960 Oakland Roadster Show.

84 is fellow Autoholics member Jack Fields' Starliner.

Jack is also co-owner of Starlite Rod & Kustoms in Torrance.

He made a similar car for Erik Hernandez from a 1960 Olds Dynamic 88 they call "Starfire". Get it?

You should have seen the cars before Jack unleashed his talent on them.

They were literally dragged out of the desert sand, bullet holes and all.

 

Jack also does a lot of work for Rick Dore, who also has all his customs built from total rubbish,

because he can't stomach to cut up a good car.

 

The whole lot is a bunch of total heroes.

98 is Hot Rod Chassis & Cycle of Addison's "Kosmic Outcast"

 

kosmic_outcast_logo.jpg

 

which was built from the remains of a 1940 Ford Pick Up.

 

It's pretty radical in every aspect.

2013-SEMA-1940-hot-rod-pickup-13.jpg

 

 

It won 'best of' at the 2013 SEMA.

 

Again, you wouldn't believe the smashed up, rusted, bullet hole riddled wreck they started with.

Posted

I love that green truck even more!  The details on that are just spot on.  It makes it even better knowing these cars started out as wrecks too, the amount of work that must have gone into them boggles the mind.

Posted

The Kosmic Outcast has some serious engineering going on as well.

It's built around a spaceframe they fabricated from scratch a couple of hundred Quids worth of steel tubing.

Posted

Sorry to be late and picky, but No 76, the bus on the right is actually an East Lancs bodied AEC Renown, not a Regent. This was AEC's low floor version of the Regent that could be bodied by anybody and was their answer to the Bristol Lodecker after the semi integral Bridgemaster built by them and Park Royal didn't sell that well.

Apologies, missed the post above from Quicksilver who beat me to it.
