Let me tell a little story, 'bout a man named Jed...

The Beverly Hillbillies episode with the Hot Rodded version of the truck and a few other 60's Show Rods and buggies!

[darquewanderer]

Let's see. First there was Roth's Wishbone, then a Super Safari dune buggy and finally the "Truck". Not bad.

Sure looks a lot like the Wishbone but the only pictures I've seen have shown it as an open roadster with no tailfins. Roth always said he hated the Wishbone and that he sawed it in half and threw it away, could someone have made these modifications for the show before Dirty Doug did his restoration?

Dave, here's a pic of the 1:1.....




In the pic it looks red, but in the episode it does have an orangish flake look to it.

Mike did I get you thinking about this ?

I kinda like that 50/50 version with the old back half.....I think there was more than one car....not uncommon back then

I've only seen pictures of it as a bubble topped rod. Fins and all.

This is the only way I've ever seen it (these pics come from the book Hot Rods by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth). If anyone has pics of it with a full top, I would really like to see them.

Wishbone didn`t appear in this episode. The first showrod is called Stiletto. I can`t remember who built it but there is a picture of it in Famous Custom an Show cars- book by Barris.

Thanks for the info sake, found a pic of the Stiletto on this old Coffin Corner thread - coffincorner.proboards.com/thread/7629

[Bud Tugly]

Some more info on the Stiletto here, definitely the car from this episode of Beverly Hillbillies - books.google.com/books?id=tSLjOVHLde0C&pg=PA43&lpg=PA43&dq=barris+stiletto+show+rod&source=bl&ots=NP-WOgQ-Dp&sig=MUHg6pIXLXadF_HWqzWZ-f4T10g&hl=en&sa=X&ei=zXC2Uc7jKYeeywHT44GwBg&ved=0CCoQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=barris%20stiletto%20show%20rod&f=false

[darquewanderer]

Thanks Bud, I've never seen those pics before.
And Sakke, I stand corrected. Your right, it'd the Stiletto.
