Hot Shot

Spring is a wonderful time when people bring their interesting cars out to play. Leaving for lunch today I spotted this and was going to park nearby and take a pic. Then it pulled out and I shot a quick shot. https://youtu.be/5NxsbGR8puo Look at that little rascal take off like a bat leaving Hades. My Lexus could hardly keep pace. Had to forego the nonsense and get back to driving after the short shot.

They come up on eBay every now and then. It's nice to see one on the road. Your video gives a real good feel for the size of the car.

There used to one in Billings, I haven't seen it in years. There is one in a somewhat different car museum called Dorys in a semi ghost town, Marmath ND. It is suppose to have been owned by Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

I have to laugh every time I see one. There used to be a chicken franchise place here in town called Hoosier Chicken that used a Crosley HotShot to deliver the chicken. It was driven by an 18 year old kid. One day near my home, he took a corner too fast and flipped the Crosley. He was tossed out but not hurt badly. The chicken? Who remembers. Who's Your Chicken?

There is a liquor store in Chickasha that has one for its sign. It is raised up on a pole and its wheels turn.
