Actually, the ultimate in cool. He was a car guy and a man's man.

He used the cars as cars and enjoyed them. A speedster back then was just another car. Besides,..he had FU money so it's not like he cared.

Have to agree it probably mostly applies to Steve McQueen as he is after all "The King Of Cool".

Seeing this picture first posted, I had to check my files to verify I actually saw this car at The Peterson Museum. And it is!!!! Right down to the knock offs!

And lest you think his car at the Peterson was some concours show car garage queen..... I do my best to try to get the pictures not everyone does. Peterson is not always happy with me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

And you can see it has not been restored. How cool to have seen that car in person.

The first picture posted above with the rifle suggests he used his own car in a movie perhaps. Now, how "cool" is that!

According to his wife's book (Neale just behind him with .30 '06) Steve took to carrying concealed in '69, when the Charlie Manson family went murdering Celebs in the Hills. Steve was to join up with Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring , others in their Mandeville Cyn home. He was side tracked, wound up going elsewhere...then found out about the massacre next morning.
Steve was thee King of Cool; my sister-in-law and 2 of her GF's were hitch hiking on Sunset Bl, trying to get to SM / Venice beach and Steve pulls up in a Mustang. He takes them to the beach, gives the girls some cash for (return) bus fare and snacks...insists that they never hitch hike again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
At the Polo Lounge at the BH Hotel, Steve would always give my HS friend Dave (parking lot jockey) a 20 spot...as he never wanted to have his cars Valet parked; usually drove the 356 powered Beetle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
This kind of Celebrity Coolness is gone today

Cool movie rifle was Steve's "Mare's leg" used on his TV Series> Wanted Dead or Alive late '50s. It's a Winchester model 1892, shortened barrel / shortened stock, designed by his freind Von Dutch.

Judges at the '12 "Friends of Steve McQueen" car show liked the black gt/flat fan car this much ...it took the Cool Style ยก
The Boys Republic /Chino Hills CA is where Steve spent some time boarding there, then in '47 enlisted in the USMC.
Great show every June, if you're out in SoCal .
All of the trophies are hand built in the school's industrial-training shops by the students !

Steve was a real badass. His chase on the bike in The Great Escape absolutely made the movie. He even played the part of some of the Germans chasing him on motorcycles. This picture is Bud Ekins, one of Steve's riding buddies. Steve was prohibited to make this jump for insurance reasons so Bud did the jump and the crash into the fence at the end.
