Meet “LOTACAD,” the 1950 Cadillac E62 Street Rod that’s as mischievous as it is magnificent. Crafted by Griffey’s Hot Rods and Restorations, this low-lying beauty can switch from naughty to nice with a rev of its 6.2-liter engine, boasting over 500 HP—enough to wake the neighbors and maybe the entire block. Inside, Steve Holcomb has worked his magic, creating a custom interior that’s as plush as it is posh. And let’s not forget the chrome—yes, there’s enough to blind passing satellites. This car is definitely worth a look!
The 1956 Buick Special, the last hurrah before the LeSabre took over the entry-level throne in 1958, is a beast with a heart of 322 cubic inches of V8 might, roaring with 250 HP. Like a fashion statement from the ’50s, it sports three vent ports per fender, making you the talk of the town—or at least the block. Thanks to Gateway Classic Cars, you can feast your eyes on this classic icon without having to polish its chrome yourself.
Back in the groovy days of 1964, Super Stock drag racing was all the rage with cars that looked normal but zoomed faster than a cheetah on roller skates. Enter the Factory Experimental class, where manufacturers got a little wild under the hood while keeping showroom appearances. This 1964 Mercury Comet is an A/FX beast, one of just 21 built. It’s still rocking the same “experimental” speed parts it had back then, like the roaring 425 HP high-riser 427 engine and lightweight fiberglass body panels.
Not sure where to start with the beast that is the Dodge Charger 1968 Widebody. Under the hood, this monster roars with a 440 Stroked to 535, pushing somewhere around a jaw-dropping 700 HP. And let’s not forget those viper-inspired louvers on the hood and the widebody work that accommodates those massive 12-inch rear tires. It’s like trying to fit a sumo wrestler into skinny jeans! Steve and the team at Pro Auto Custom Interiors nailed it with a full leather custom interior. One word: Awesome!
