    based on a Buick Electra I believe, perhaps a 1959. Some custom overtones can be seen in the picture as well.

    It's a 1961 Dodge. Do a google search and you'll see a pic of it come up....

    It's funny when you listen to old music how many cars you see in the videos.
    I guess it's because when your going down the road, we listen to the radio and tend
    too associate the music at the time with our cars.
    I tend to think of Pink Floyd's Another brick in the Wall with my 73 Bug.
    Because when I was driving to High school in 1979 they would play that song alot
    on the radio. Wow I was looking at the photo's from that old Dodge and the motor has the same Cross Tunnel Ram intakes like I had put on my 440 magnuim. They were a pain in the butt to keep timed unless you had vacuum gauges, which I did not at the time. Kurt

    Those cars never really caught on, which may have affected sales, and certainly the customizing use. I think it was the reverse fins, because that is what I remember people commenting on.

    Today I like the unusual, and would love to see one built!....IF you can find one!
