Ever see 421 emblems on the wrong sides, Royal Lic Plate frames to wanna bee’s, I ask, your car from Royal, no the idiot says.
8 lug wheels, now everyone puts them on, and 8” Snowflake wheels, where the hell are they all coming from.

----64 Grand Prix's with external 421 emblems. That the one 64 Pontiac body style didn't get those emblems. Also,,, Those factory sized chrome GM style air cleaner lids that don't have the double rolled edge. Can't take those!...….Bill S

The very first time I went to Vegas back in 87 I stayed at the Frontier for a sales conference. Stuck my head out of my room window (was on the 7th floor) and looked down The Strip. The first thought that popped into my mind was . . . I want to be the GE Lightbulb salesman for this territory.

Now I want to be the chrome magnum 500 wheel salesman!

Regardless where or when assembled,1970 Chevelles with incorrect 1969 master cylinders.

hence...

All GM master cylinders were painted black, they were not bare metal. That's a common restoration mistake.

Blame the restoration companies!

The “Caution Fan” Ford sticker on Chevys.

Oh, and cowl induction hoods on 1967-68 Camaros and pre-1970 Chevelles.

Spoilers on 67 Camaros...Joe

My buddy did them wrong. LMAO. He also had Royal stuff on a Portland car lmao. I rode his ass all the time. It was Mickey Lolich’s 62 GP. Maybe someone here knows the car. It went to a Roush guy I heard.

Skunk stripes on the wrong Camaros...Joe

BFG's.

69 SS stripes with the leading edge pinstripe going all the way to the fender extension instead of stopping at the bumper.

People that enter their non-collectible / non-performance car in the show with a for sale sign in the window.

1970 Super Sport Chevelles with the wrong color stripes. Black Cherry, Fathom Blue and Forest Green only came with white stripes. You wanted black - you had to order it that way.

New cars, with all the factory paperwork in frames.

1970 'Cuda with white Sport Tape Stripes. They only came in black. And also on this 440+6 'Cuda are F60x15 RWL tires - not available on the 'Cuda or the Challenger R/T. Only E60x15 RWL. The F's came standard on the Hemi as the Hemi cars had the special front fenders to accommodate the wider F series tires.

"Small Penis Syndrome" . . . when you ordered the 440+6 engine and the ram air on your 1970 Super Bee or Coronet R/T the engine callout emblems on the scoops were just "440."

Bands playing music

#1. Big speakers at shows. I really hate that.

I’m hating the sign, but, What am I hating on the Gold SS?

lower rocker moldings, I'm thinking.

Being a 69 Chevelle guy I hate to see the "70" band-aid stripes on any car born earlier than 1970.

I hate it when i miss the car show. I also hate it when I miss the swap meet that was at the car show.

Tommy

I hate it when you are right

Nice Malibu. :naughty:

I find it funny that you pull a photo I shared on CRG of a friends car that he bought in the fall of 69 with a period photo of the car with the emblem placement and a current photo of where the emblem is today but yet you are all for how they left the factory.. And yes I am taking a little personal as I give validation to an oddity not once but twice in the thread but you chose to “crop” my photo and use it in this thread as things that aren’t correct or things that bother someone at a car show. :rolleyes2:


For those that might want to read up on the thread.

I’m hating the Monroe swap is prob going to be cancelled because of this beer virus.

This tread is just a silly thread that we are doing, just sitting around home because of the beer virus. It’s not meant to ruffle any feathers. Everyone has walk around at a car show and just shook your head at some car.

Hers one of mine, putting new cars in a show. Don’t get pissed, vette, camaro, Mopar guys. You see them every day. Just saying.

One year at Dream Cruise, I wanted to put my TA next to my Buddy’s 62 GP. My car was 24 years old. Birmingham said no. I asked about all the new Fauxbras that gather at the 555 building, the guy says their 60’s cars. I said really, look at their title, other than one, which has a NOT FAKE Lic plate on, the rest was built in someone’s garage. They threw the whole clan out. I think their back again. Me, I’m not into fake cars.

Watch on the fender!!*

Look at all da tings I dun blowed upppp

I have been documenting 1970 Chevelles for 40 years (mostly the LS6) and have found numerous survivors with no evidence of paint what so ever. That being said I have found numerous survivors that DID have semi gloss black on them. Same goes for the calipers. I typically restore all of our cars (assuming they were survivors when we received them) as I find them. If I find no evidence of paint then that is how I restore them. However, I do not paint them cast iron either.

My thoughts have always been that many likely started out with enough paint on them to keep them from flash rusting during the shipping and assembly period and them not worrying about them rusting once they were delivered to the dealer. Therefor, just enough paint to satisfy the manufacturer.

I also treat them somewhat the same as exhaust manifolds. Most of us know that they were painted on the engine on a big block but most of the orange burned off shortly after starting them so many of us who chose to paint the orange on them paint them in a way to simulate the after effects of them when it has burned off. Could these master cylinders not be restored the same way? To replicate what they looked like by the time they arrive at the dealer? I now restore mine with just a misting of black paint on them to simulate what they may have looked like during the assembly line process.

It also could boil down to a plant destination thing. It is a well known fact that many Chevelles had NO paint on any of the rear suspension and transmission crossmember (I mostly see that on Baltimore cars) whereas the other plants painted them overall black so I guess it is another one of those "never say never" things.

This is actually kinda fun, so allow me to throw out a few;

1. Those waist high stanchions at any indoor car show.
2. Car covers at any car show.
3. Radial T/A's (or any other modern radial tire) on anything that truly deserves a proper bias ply tire.
4. Cragar S/S's on anything but period correct applications. (sorry...never been a fan of S/S's!)

And I could go on and on...

Oh...and another;

5. Sears or Walmart batteries...
