Kulture Magnets

What do you get when you mash up hot rods and monsters? In 1980, the answer would have been Weird Wheels trading card stickers. Featuring a checklist of colorful creations along the lines of the late '60s Odd Rods cards, the set blends Kustom Kulture with matinée horror. The cards themselves have monsters and other creatures driving absurdly customized cars, trucks, and motorcycles. As cool as the cards looked, they came out at a time when the Kustom Kulture was well past its peak, and the set flopped, but that doesn't mean they're still not cool! This one features the 'Loco-Motive' in an odd recreation of the classic damsel in distress on the train tracks from card #3.

There's no shortage of hot rod builders in California, but sometimes it's the lesser known ones that were doing something really great, and Randy Spooner was just one such guy. While other guys were designing rides to get magazine covers, Randy was focused on building traditional hot rods that were meant to be driven. For about three decades, Randy's small shop in Fresno, California, turned out quite a few hand built drivers that any hot rodder would be proud to own. No garage queens or show circuit belles here - just down and dirty, old school hot rods meant to rack up the miles.

Just a flying fink. Nothing to see here.
