Back in 70s I built a 34 ford P/U based on an old CARtoons piece featuring different Car Club gags. One featured the Sleepers ( or something like that), a club that put a real bed on the back of a 34 pick up. One of the other clubs featured graveyard club car with a severe chop for that "6 feet under look."
For the P/U I used foam and cut up Levies for the "bed." Later, I gave it away. I would like to add a recreation to my list of projects.
So if anyone remembers that feature I would like to see it again. Trosley may have been the artist. So, far Google has not turned it up.
Thanks
Scott

I have a few Cartoons mags from when I was a kid, but that feature isn't in them . I would suggest looking through Ebay at all of the Cartoons issues; maybe you will recognize the cover art as one that you had , and if you're not 100% positive, you could email the seller and ask if that feature is in it.

Thanks for the tips, Don. After a good amount of online research I used covered to get the 6 contenders that might have the article. Sept 1975, Oct 1975, Hot Rod cartoons March 1972, Aug 1973, Aug 1976, June 1973.
Not to keep searching around for those issues.

I can post pics of the covers, but until l see inside the issues, it will be a guess.

This was the one. I searched for old CARtoons mags in the approximate year and this one looked familiar.  Hosted on FotkiOne just showed up on eBay so I checked with the seller. He sent me the page.  Hosted on FotkiNow it is on its way for under 10 bucks. The car I replicated was the Sleepers. I used the AMT 34 ford p/u. Now that I look at the article, it looks like a lot of the club cars were based on models. hmmm. |

I like the denim T tub.
Trosley's stuff was always great.
