Ryan’s terrific discussion starter about plastics in early hot rods, customs and race vehicles, and that reminded me of 1 of the early pioneers of bubble top plastic domes on customs, Bill Cushenbery. His very first scratch-constructed development was the iconic ‘Silhouette’ which went on to be a multiple-clearly show winner, a Very hot Wheel, and an AMT design package. Invoice developed it as a fully driveable, roadworthy creation, and that is why it was featured in this CBS Tv Specific from September of 1966 called ‘The Great World of Wheels”, with Lloyd Bridges as your host. The full movie is seriously value a watch for the 60s go-karts, slot automobiles, dune buggies, exhibit automobiles, and much more. Lloyd drives the Silhouette all through the opening sequence together the Pacific Coastline Freeway and at times all over the show. Though this video clip has been shared on the HAMB in advance of, I imagined it was really worth sharing once again, and highlighting the personalized auto & scorching rod moments for you:
