I am sure the front fenders have a custom cruiser emblem where the marker light would be.

Nope, no big blocks in 67. I would guess a 351 V-6

That ol' boys great for bear country!!!

Aus69c20 · 03-08-2016, 07:01 AM

Hell of a spoiler on top. Imagine the downforce at speed.

midniteblues · 03-08-2016, 09:57 AM

i dont know of any grannies that would be willing to climb up there.

ERASER5 · 03-08-2016, 11:25 AM

Hahaha. I was noticing those beehives. I guess that is the salon up on top, they go in and don't emerge until 2:00pm with a perfect Beehive!

The inside must be completely filled with stairs to get up top. Either that, or a fireman's pole, or a trampoline

Yeah , that upper part doesn't fold . It must have been fun avoiding wires, trees and other low clearance situations .

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 03-09-2016, 12:38 AM

At first glance thought I was looking at the Beverly Hillbillies.

The top did retract. Here's a picture of another of their designs on a GMC.

How many happy campers can you count in the picture? :-) I've got 8 (!).

im4darush · 03-09-2016, 09:43 AM

#1 - Just imagine a nice cross wind!
#2 - Are those chains really going to stop you from going overboard after a few too many?
#3 - What diameter sway bars are in that thing to prevent it from tipping over at anything over 15 mph? 4"?

Understandably, different times. But damn, what a stupid concept.
