There was also a 1941 Plymouth Pickup there but it got too dark for good pictures.

It was an old custom done about 20 years ago.

Had rectangular, dual, over and under headlights, really crappy tail lights (I think they were Vega) mounted about a foot inboard of each side on the tailgate,

couple 3" chop and a 392 hemi stuffed in it.

The hemi and the chop was cool but the lights made me more than a little sick

It is a good thing that "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", who I hope owns this Dodge coupe.

I don't think it ever was a Dodge.

I fear she was a DeSoto before captured by the MadMetalButcher...

 

In her youth she looked like the one in below:

Must be a madman totally lacking sense of aestetics who wasted the beautiful waterfall grille to replace it with a botox smile...

I believe it was just a lowly Plymouth.

Look at the hood lines of the red custom, also the front fenders and the way head light are mount - It's a S11. Cruel but true.

Got to agree. Very sad.

I see.......the fenders go back onto the door.  Yep, must be DeSoto.  That's a complete 1953 Chevy grille.  It actually looks and

fits in better than many grilles guys change to.  That hood ornament looks like a rear fender ornament from a 54 Plymouth

Belvedere.    Personally........I would have preferred he used all four '57 Plymouth cone style wheel covers, like on the back,

rather than the Moon racing discs.  But.......the owner is Da Man, no matter whether we likee or not.    

 

He does have genuine cowl mount swan neck mirrors..........

That car is not to my liking, but it looks like whoever "transformed" it, was pretty good at bodywork.

I don't know....some cars look OK after they have been "customized", but by and large, the old Mopars look perfect in their original state. I think Mother Mopar's body designers were top notch.

The earliest known reference to 'by and large' in print is from Samuel Sturmy, in The Mariners Magazine, 1669:

"Thus you see the ship handled in fair weather and foul, by and learge."

shaved cars of this magnitude look so out of proportion as there is nothing to break up the lines and it is just one big flowing blob and the darker colors in my opinion tend to make the blob even less appealing...am hoping my 41 bz coupe does not fall into the blob zone..number of shave items on it as well..

By jingies, yer right!

I was so engrossed out by the grill I never noticed the fenders, just the profile. Plus I never really imagined anybody would do that to a DeSoto.

 

And the dash was/is Plymouth...
