Redneck Rumble

[Don Coatney]

Second annual show in Lebanon, Tennessee held yesterday. If it is old and has 4 wheels (or 2) it is welcome at this show. Chance Moore was there with his 49 Plymouth woody. A handful of old Plymouths. I had the only souped up Mopar flathead 6. For more pictures follow the link.

Don, looks like a lot of cars there with lotsa patina.

How many vehicles attended, do you think?

How do theyget the patina not go all the way through???? Musbe NY patina is different from the southern variety. Like the the Studies. What was the 4 door convertible??? Don't recognize it at all.

That Suburban looks like they just dragged it out of the swamp. Looks great.

Thanks, Don.

[Plymouthy Adams]

That Suburban is of the Savoy line.."beltline" molding..

I like the front end treatment on the purple P15. Makes it look like a 40.

That four door convertible IS a puzzler.

I should have looked at that 4 door vert closer. I do not know what it is:confused:

That probably would not have helped you determine what kind of car that is. Just about every year at the larger swap meet we see something similar. Last month was no exception. Those hot rods are what we call the cleaning out the barn make of car. They are a little of everything the owner found laying around and bolted and welded together with wheels and an engine. Guess you could call them a crossbreed. They even throw in farm implement stuff on some of them. Some of the bumpers are just old pipes or box steel. Hood ornaments could be some type of plumbing fixture. Just somebody having fun creating something.

I've seen a few of those too. One I walked up to read the badge on the radiator shell and it said maytag! Guess I fell for that one.

There is a guy living just down the road from me who builds such things. The pictured car has parts from many. When I paid this guy a visit to look at a P-15 he was selling he found an old speedometer (non mopar) in the trunk of the P-15. He pulled it out and tossed it in the pile of parts to assemble this pictured car.

Found the information on the HAMB.

It was a 36 Ford frame, with a 39 pontiac four door sedan body, turned into a dual cowl phaeton.
