The Wonderful World of Wheels (1966)

Ryan’s wonderful dialogue starter about plastics in early incredibly hot rods, customs and race autos, and that reminded me of one particular of the early pioneers of bubble best plastic domes on customs, Invoice Cushenbery. His very initially scratch-built development was the iconic ‘Silhouette’ which went on to be a several-demonstrate winner, a Very hot Wheel, and an AMT product package. Monthly bill developed it as a absolutely driveable, roadworthy generation, and which is why it was featured in this CBS Tv set Particular from September of 1966 referred to as ‘The Fantastic Planet of Wheels”, with Lloyd Bridges as your host. The full movie is definitely worthy of a look at for the 60s go-karts, slot cars, dune buggies, display vehicles, and much more. Lloyd drives the Silhouette for the duration of the opening sequence alongside the Pacific Coast Highway and at times during the exhibit.
