Moonshadow:

You forgot to mention the Paxton blown Studebaker Larks of the early '60s, led by their fore runner, the blown '57 Golden Hawk.  Both of them before the GTOs.

You are absolutely correct! I forgot about those and I'm sure some others. I hate to mention scrubs but the Blue Flame 6 Vette was an interesting piece in 1953 1/2. Also the dual quad 283's in 57. There is an almost endless list of pre 1963/4 cars that were designed, and built, in the muscle car format.

On a separate note has anyone here ever seen a 56 or 57 scrub El Morocco?

 

A local collector friend just mentioned them this week. A very small number were manufactured in Detroit with GM assistance. I had never heard of it and considering I was a Car Nut in 1957 I can't imagine why. Certainly an interesting combination of 57 Chev and Cadillac. Sorry Jerry!

Sorry about violating the sanctity of the site but, has anyone else ever heard of these? Apparently only about 20 made in 56 and agin in 57. My reason for posting was wondering why I had never heard of them. Having been raised in the day and a big fan of performance cars of the time. Like the Studallic etc. I promise no mas. Chuck in NH

I saw a picture of one somewhere, but never saw a real one.

Here in Texas you might see anything, if the car was used for officers weighing trucks or something other than patrolling the highways it could have had a Y-Block. But in 1961 on those open highways there was nothing like cubic inches. My older brothers friend had a new 61, 390 with 3X2's, out ran every cop around south Texas. The area we lived in, the cops had GM cars.
