Thanks, I'm rather fond of them too.

Dale some how I completely missed that you owned an Elke too. It's cool.

**special-K** · 03-23-2019, 07:00 PM

Nice to see it's a '70

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-24-2019, 08:44 AM

I like the Datsun Sunny..it reminds me of a 1200

**special-K** · 03-25-2019, 08:01 AM

Yeah, I got into looking up more pictures. Neat little things.

If they're as fun to drive as they look...

Some look like they are. Some look like they'd drive like a go cart. I don't care what it is. If it handles like a go cart I want to drive it........... hard!

Here's a '55, '56, '57, and '58. I couldn't find any custom-built '59s or '60s... huh. I already showed that '61 before, so here is a '62. I don't think there's a year out there someone hasn't done a Mean Ole Elky job on

yuccales · 03-29-2019, 07:20 AM

I can't get enough of these! That '57 looks like it has an under bed storage door. Very cool!

**special-K** · 03-30-2019, 08:09 AM

I see that now. All of these sure took a dedicated bunch of skilled work. That's for sure.

yuccales · 03-30-2019, 08:23 AM

Love seeing before and after pictures! That "El Vair" is kinda cool also.

You got that right! That Plymouth is wild looking.

**Boog** · 04-13-2019, 06:07 AM

That '58 Elnomad has my eye. While I'm not a 58 fan that one looks good. The rear window/lift hatch treatment of several of these is interesting.
The pink Rambler? Well, uh, trying to be nice. Just NO.

**special-K** · 04-13-2019, 07:46 AM

'58s are very truck-like... boxy wide square stout. That's why my favorite '58 is the Sedan Delivery. To me it looks like a panel truck that was customized... chopped channeled and such. The '57 cars had fins and so did the '59, so none on a '58 lends to the truck vibe a bit when compared to it's closest siblings. '58s are all by themselves for sure. They are a love or hate car. I like them for being different and being Chevy's one year of jumping in with the trend of big boxy turnpike cruisers before stepping into their own direction with the 59.60s bursting at the seam with style while being that big chunk of hiway metal.

**special-K** · 04-13-2019, 07:55 AM

... Can't stop.

Don't look at it as a car and you might like them better

I never even knew they existed. Pretty cool......

yuccales · 05-12-2019, 11:32 AM

I like the Mustero! Good looking ride.

**special-K** · 05-12-2019, 12:18 PM

Did you hear what that conversion added to the cost... in 1966? That was one very expensive novelty!
