WHEN ELVIS PRESLEY TOOK A BACKSEAT TO CLAMBAKE’S RED HOT ’59 STINGRAY RACER

“For Corvette enthusiasts, the real star of ‘Clambake’ is the 1959 Stingray Racer concept— the car that is said to be the opening design salvo in what became the 1963 Corvette Stingray. While Corvette innovation was experience an exciting acceleration, the days of big money movie deals for Elvis were downshifting. Riffing on the similarity of every Elvis movie to every other Elvis movie, a studio executive once quipped: ‘Why do we bother to give his movies titles – couldn’t they just be numbered?'”

“The ’59 Stingray Racer has its own unique history. Designed by Peter Brock and Larry Shinoda, the chassis was provided from one of Duntov’s 1956 Corvette SS tubular frame racers. GM’s styling chief Bill Mitchell purchased the chassis and then directed and funded the design of the car in Chevrolet’s secretive Studio X. Once completed, Mitchell took the car racing as a privateer. The Stingray Racer was raced in 1960 SCCA competition by The Flying Dentist, Dr. Dick Thompson, who would bring home the C-Modified class championship in the car.

“JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL” The Selvedge Yard T-shirt in Black  <click here to shop>

TSY‘s latest artist collab “Jesus Take The Wheel,” with Doug Werner the talented eye and artist behind @muchomoto on instagram. How inspiration struck– As a youngster, my family abruptly transplanted to West Phoenix and I found my sorry, red-headed, 10 yr old ass in Cholo central. It was an experience in survival for sure, and left me with an affinity for Lowriders, Cholo Art, and Rick James (Give It To Me Baby)…

TRIUMPH DRAG DAZE | DICK RIOS’ LEGENDARY TWO-TIMER DRAG BIKE

1964azzz1965 dick rios two timer triumph motorcycle drag bike

CYCLE WORLD magazine, 1965–

“In less that 10 seconds the Two-Timer Triumph accelerates to 155.17 mph, a mark which rider  /  builder Dick Rios claims as ‘the all-time mph (record) for a bike in the quarter-mile.’ Rios also claims his 9.74 seconds elapsed time, recorded on the Fontana (Calif.) dragway clocks as the ‘lowest E.T. ever turned by a bike in the quarter.’ If anyone wished to dispute these assertions, he can find Rios and Two-Timer at drag strips across the U.S. (and hopefully, Europe) this summer on a coming exhibition tour.
