1942 model biz coupe. Real blind quarters. A little different treatment of bumper guards.

The blue car on the bottom appears to be a two seater. Look at the difference in the trunk lids and the slant of the door edges.

I suppose sedan doors would fit with the roof behind them modified.

And the rear window looks straight along the bottom with an arched top...wierd.

There is more wierd stuff here than meets the eye. The rear window is not a coupe window, nor is it a Biz Coupe window,, they were flat glass about 8 inches high, and the top and bottom edges are straight. Also the coupes had a forward slanting "C" pillar. This looks like it might have started life as a more door, and not based on either of the coupe body styles. But based on those observations I would say this is not a business coupe. Shown is a local 42 Biz Coupe for comparison.

There is something distinctly abortive about this car.....a good example of a great deal of time and effort to make something less desirable than it was when you started.

I bet the FBI is looking for that car== I bet Jimmy Hoffa is in the Trunk-- sealed away-- seems like quite a bit of effort- poor results-- but for $5500 I would be looking for something else--

I revised the original post and added a picture.

The rear window of that "coupe" is shaped like a Ford window not a Mopar. Looking at the shape of the deck lid makes me think its possible that whole rear half is Ford. The door window frame is shaped like a sedan door, not any kind of coupe.

That sure does look like some Ford grafted on.

Well, started idea did looks okay. BUT, when playing at computer the roof seems better chopped, with angled doorslants. Also at pic2 perhaps side window in pillar should stay? Build as you like, its yours, but when putting pics at ideas in forums, you could get a lot of opinions, as here.

Have fun, stay cool with your car....................................leaded

It's quite obvious the car in the photo has a '40s Ford coupe rear end grafted to it! Ech! Oh well to each his own!
