Does anybody know about the World of Wheels car shows (maybe a show circuit?) that used to exist back in the 1970s?  I found an old Corvette for sale a few miles from my house whos owner claims it to be an old World of Wheels show car.  Furthermore, has anyone ever seen this car before?

If it wasn't in WOW, it certainly drew inspiration from it.  Hey Brock, you must remember it, you could do the wild custom like that or get a van.  :lol:
Anybody still have their old "Keep On Truckin'" t-shirts?

i belive it was a mid-west (based) show that traveled but i was on the left coast and all i ever got to was the Oakland Grand National Roadster Show which moved to So. Cal. a few years back...  :shruggy:

i suggest you punch in dates ie: 1970 world of wheels/ 1969 WOW etc... then a mess of cool stuff shows up..  :yesnod:



BTW That vette though really aint my cup 'o joe, that paint job is definatly 1970 all the way though...  :eek2:

keep on truckin is of the Mr. Natural and Fabulous Furry Freak Bros...
I got lots of ZAP comics i had one autographed at the flea market by the cover artist himself last Feb.
cool beans or far out or groovy or whatever..

Noting the sidepipe covers, I'm surprised the fenders aren't flared. I agree, that paint job is definitely straight outta the 70's. :yesnod:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

That corvette is AWESOME! :icon_smile_tongue: The only thing I would change are the wheels, they kinda throw of the period vibe goin on. It needs the ass jacked up and some deep cragars on the back with skinnies up front, then it would be damn near perfect!
