Yes, you could say that

demo for recycled parts?

Otto Puzzell · September 23, 2012, 04:16:25 AM

It does incorporate old parts, but not for that purpose. It's primary purpose is one of the two that are usually associated with hot rods.

built in the 1970s?

Otto Puzzell · September 23, 2012, 05:03:31 AM

Dragster?

Otto Puzzell · September 23, 2012, 05:14:07 AM

Sex, drugs and rock'n roll? Oh no, that are three reasons.

But they worked for me.

How about a show car? If so, the builder missed the mark.

Otto Puzzell · September 24, 2012, 03:21:37 AM

'Show Car' is closest to the mark. It was built for no other purpose than to be looked at.

For one point: What is this

A stage prop called "Greased Lightning" for the show Grease

Quote from: Otto Puzzell on August 16, 2012, 05:37:34 AMand who built it?

Konicki?

Darn.

Otto Puzzell · September 27, 2012, 03:27:40 PM

Not from Grease or any other movie or play.

I was looking for something else, when this popped up:
A rare photo of the pseudo hot rod assembled by Allan Herridge for the Highwaymen Rod and Custom Club stand at Hayes Carnival. (Allan Herridge)

Otto Puzzell · October 20, 2012, 03:52:33 AM

Serendipity strikes again!

What's the difference between a "Pseudo" hot rod and a "genuine" hot rod? The former isn't a runner perhaps.
