So I have a challenge. I'm building a clone/tribute car of the 1955 Olds featured in the Burt Reynolds movie "W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings". Anybody out there know any details? Was there ever a magazine write up or feature? I have a copy of the movie, but that's as much "hard" info as I currently have. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Maybe there should be a Google short cut on the CO home page.

 

The car on flickr is a 2dr hdtop but the other link is a good one thanks!

 

Sounds like a cool build, keep us in the loop with pictures as you progress it will be fun watching it come together

 

Thanks, appreciate the support, I'll get some pictures up soon.

 

This should be a fun project and we will be looking for pictures. Don't forget the horn that plays Dixie.

 

Welcome aboard

X 2 on keep us posted of your progress.

 

Now I will have to view the movie.

 

The movie "W.W. and the DixieKings "has been put on You Tube and you can view it there. Larry

 

I am guessing this one never got built since the thread is over 4 years old.

 

Ajski If you can find the Article W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings on Jalopy Journal's site a Member Called Lukey has three pictures listed that are the best I've seen.The Bumpers have been made into roll pans,a tube bar grill ,antenna moved to rear,spare tire/cover added,nerf bar bumpers made for both ends.Car is gold metal flake (top and rear with Black front).Interior in movie scene looked like Gold metal flake roll & pleat ran horizontal. It had a (Dixie Horn), and had Fog lights. Skirts and spare cover were painted black. Larry
