Here are a few shots of Posie new ride for 2007 ....:cool: Seen here first!
I think he calling it .."INLINE FLEETLINER" ..based off a 1942 chevy!
Nice to see Jim Rizzo (Tech editor S/R magazzine ) making the trip from the WC to do a feature of the car

Man, gotta wonder what the heck Posie is smokin' these days????? Fugly IMO
Not quite Al..........saw it a SEMA couple months ago. And someone put up a thread about it last month with this link to his site; http://www.posiesrodsandcustoms.com/...es-fleetliner/Quote:

Looks like something Jay Leno would drive. The straight eight is cool. I agree with Dave S, I don't like it either.
Man - that is 4 syllable U-G-L-Y.:eek:
What's with that Roush stuff?:HMMM:
And I thought last year's car was bad (I just happened to be looking at the 2006 Speedway catalog and was wondering if he could top (bottom?) that homely looking fiasco - I guess he did.:whacked:
I don't know Dave................that so called '35 roadster had more bad lines than a Chevy Chase movie. If you think it looks bad in pictures you should (nah you shouldn't) see it in person. The ONLY thing I liked on that was the hood ornament..................it's the dirty ol' man in me. And whoopie, you can buy those on his site now!
This one I don't find near as offensive, though it doesn't make me smile either.
Well now that I see more detail of it I'm sticking with my orignal responce.. "It does nothing for me" For what that thing cost to build he could have had just about any car out there. I guess its what ever rocks your boat.
Amazing workmanship as usual. But, when you put lipstick on a pig . . .
I feel just about the same way about Foose's P-37. And yet, the magazines are falling all over themselves and raving about both.

He usually has his latest 'work of art' at the NSRA York show but I don't remember it from last year, but I was too busy at the swap meet trying to get rid of surplus treasures.Quote:

Yep, the hood ornament (on a street rod?) is neat.
What is scary is that he does have some great skills, but maybe as he gets older the controlled sunstances that he MAY have used in the '60s has messed with his mind. But then the artsy-fartsy types can be different...and that's OK (go to an art show sometime or, as I do, volunteer at a theater doing scenery and you will have a better understanding that they are not the same as 'normal' folks) and we need them to make the world a bit more colorful
I could only find six . . .Quote:

Hey Uncle Bob, that pig you got a picture of, she was uptown last night!!! Went home with some dude who had a couple to many cocktails....... Her twin sister was there, too!!!!!
I guess even top builders and shops like Posies and Foose turn out some duds now and then. I am not nuts about the two cars pictured, and feel the same way about some that Coddington has done. And let's not even talk about some of George Barris' creations.:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
But, as you guys have pointed out, the magazines react as if every car that these guys create is some ground breaking, trend setting car. Sometimes we car guys look at them and say "what the h*** was he thinking."
I still think this is one of my favorites though, and it came from a little known builder. He did have one asset you guys mentioned though, LOTS OF DRUGS.:eek: :eek: :eek: :D :D
