Plymouthy Adams Posted June 11, 2017 Report Posted June 11, 2017 the ad states original body, they may have started with an original body but that where it ends.....this is total custom job...nothing wrong with that...whatever floats your boat... Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted June 11, 2017 Report Posted June 11, 2017 thanks...I see the opening for the gallery in your photo's above, did not see a opening for a side access door either side, no roof vent or on the front a glass opening.....these features are usually detailed/reinforced in the frame before skinned...these usually do move fast at the swaps..so it seems in my area at least...

pflaming Posted June 16, 2017 Author Report Posted June 16, 2017 Not total Art Deco but one does not often see a nice '47/48 Pontiac. Quote
pflaming Posted June 18, 2017 Author Report Posted June 18, 2017 This car predates Art Deco br a couple years. But who knows what the make and model are? Does this tractor qualify? Quote

Nobody can deny that tractors played as big a role making America the powerhouse she became as the auto industry. Maybe not as obvious unless it's dinnertime,but still a huge factor. It is hard to believe farmers actually made a living using tiny little things like that,though. I see people these days with 5 acres Horse "hobby farms" using tractors bigger than that. Quote

I can't be the only one reminded of the 33-34 Willys cars by those headlights,and when it comes to 33 Willys coupe,there is only one that pops into my mind,Ohio George Montgomery's blown gasser with the Cadillac engine. Don Gartlits has George's 34 Ford coupe with the slightly de-tuned blown Caddy in it that George drove on the street,and has been trying to buy the Willys coupe for years. He says he is pretty sure he knows where it is,but the guy that owns it won't admit having it and won't let anyone in his garage. Yes,the front fenders have been trimmed to give them a little less "lift at speed" Edited June 18, 2017 by knuckleharley Quote
greg g Posted June 18, 2017 Report Posted June 18, 2017 Sorry about the double post. These need to be added too. Quote

Any of you guys ever walked up to a Studebaker Dictator? The only one I have ever seen was stored behind a auto repair shop out in Denver in the 70,and it was a 4dr sedan. Studebaker weren't just a-woofing when they named this thing the Dictator. SOB was MASSIVE,and had a V12 engine in it. Can anyone imagine an auto company coming out with a new line of cars named the "Dictator" these days? Quote

Can you imagine how shocking that styling was to middle-America back in the mid-30's? Not that there was any chance of middle-America being able to afford one if they wanted it. These things were priced for movie stars,actual Dictators,and trust fund children. Quote
