Looks maybe like one of those great one off cars built by a guy in his garage in the 30's
Love to know more about it.
It always amazes me how treasures like this continue to appear.

Up here in the frozen north, we mostly use a 50/50 mix year round. My beater pick-up sat two nights outside at -40f last week, not plugged in and no freeze up. (it even started!!!)
I have never used 100% antifreeze...too expensive
That's exactly what I use Varsol or paint thinner I think is the same thing. Works well lasts a long time and filters for reuse easily.
I have an old laundry sink in a wheeled cabinet with drawers and shelves. I have to keep it coveres because it does evaporate (slowly)
5 gallons will easily last a year.
Yes, Congratulations on your first test drive!
I bet it felt great to get the Jellybean out a jumpin on the street!
I hope I'm in that position in April.
Greg, my dad had a Dauphine 4 door in the mid 60's. Nice little car but challenged for the Canadian winter. He wasn't too impressed with it but I thought it was a hoot!

Cockshutt Tractors in Canada used the 251 block for a while. A friend has one available still in the combine.
Pioneer Acres has a show here every year in which there are literally hundreds of tractors. I looked at most and did not see a Chrysler tractor
An example of the type of equipment on display
Good page you found, Don. The guy sounds pretty knowledgable about the old Mopars.
I like the old Dodge tandem tractor. What a great old beast that is.
1957 Deathmobile Open car | December 1, 2006
This is what happens when Grandpa retires and has WAY TOO MUCH time on his hands. He builds the Deathmobile. The vehicle is named "The Deathmobile" because it is made of 1/4" plywood over a 1957 VW chassis. If you ever were to (God Forbid)have an accident-you are a goner.It has a top speed of 45 mph. Because of the way the windshield is mounted-straight up-at night the headlights of the vehicle behind you shine right back in your eyes,making it almost impossible to see through the windshield. I am the 4th owner of this car. A retired man built it, his grandson inherited it,another man bought and restored it, and then I bought it from him for the the drivetrain. This vehicle is so much fun (and terrifying) to drive, that my family insists that I keep the Deathmobile together. We get more comments on this car than my Kustom '63 TBird

Fairly decent condition.
IF it is a prototype, it might be worth a few bucks...would have to be fairly certain by more research.
I can see why it didn't make production if it is a prototype.
It's fugly
Hygrade, A division of Standard Motor Products.
Part number 101A. (Made in USA)
At most independent auto parts stores. (in Canada at least)
The store I go to orders them from the warehouse and has them on hand within a couple of hours.
Price varies from $22 to $44. not sure why.

Looks like they are the suppliers to CarQuest in the Excited States.
No apology needed of course. When it gets warm just give us the credit
Talk about loony weather. Last week it was 40 bloody below with a north wind. Tomorrow the forecast is for 55f and maybe 60f on Friday.
I go from the heater not heating to working with the garage door open in the space of a week.
