this is the prime example, exhibit A, of why non car people ought to be supervised at worst, or even better, not allowed to work on car websites

When looking through some websites "Top 10 greatest ever hot rods" that "changed history by being the fastest, best-looking and most influential" I find the above.

What brain dead moron with no clue of hot rods, history, "best looking" or influential went out and found the complete opposite of everything that the article he wrote, was about?

This is such a contrary example, that I'd say it's the epitome of being the farthest from best looking,  influential, changed history, and greatest ever.

The dumb ass that chose this image is the most deserving of a forehead slap of any human I've heard of in years.

Maybe you don't know why... maybe you're not familiar with the above, and can't understand where I'm coming from, why I'm all bent out of shape about this...

Why, this car? It is one that hasn't been seen in decades, looks terrible, can be proven to have never influenced anyone or any thing. That's why.

How do I know? Simple, the inventor of the t-bucket, Norm Grabowski, started with a simple little T bucket, and that was used in Hollywood, and influenced the world of hot rodding, and kicked off the fad of building T Buckets... and show cars. Goofy looking odd vehicles that only went from show to show, and were made only to win trophys.

That was both the creation, and demise of that original T Bucket, that first of the fad ts that influenced so many hot rods to get built, so many hot rodders to go wrench, and race, changing hot rod history on the track, the auditorium shows, and local cruises around America. It was the greatest ever T bucket, and in an epic irony of a universal nature, it succumbed to it's own fame, when it was later bought by some weirdo, and made into what you see above. And what you see above was late in the show circuit game, looked terrible, mothballed quickly, and disappeared from public awareness, not being seen by anyone, nor even being known to anyone, while it spent the next 40 some years in hiding, only to resurface when the collector died last year.

So, when the above image was used, instead of the ACTUAL influencer, the seminal history making t bucket, I just lost it. I want to tell the jackass that chose this image to quit his job.
