Monster Muscle Car

What was the name of the shirts/cards you could buy in the 60's and 70's that had monsters (garish colors, big eyes etc.) riding in tricked out cars? And did anyone do a retro re-issue?

Are you thinking of maybe Ed Roth and Rat Fink style art?

There are nods to Roth in a good chunk of Dan Zettwoch's illustrations.

Weird-Ohs?

Testor reissued them in 1993.

Yeah, sounds like Odd Rods; there were a bunch of them. The history page has info.

THere was also Weird Wheels - they were one of those chewing gum + stickers sort of things.
