A whatzit from another site

[PatS....]

This was posted in the whatzit section of the AACA website. It's a fun section of that site I like to check out once in a while.

This one really looked familiar to me from one similar that was posted here a while back.

Any ideas?

from the original post at AACA:

"I just purchased the amazing lead sled hot rod pictured below off of e-bay last week. It is huge, approx. 17' long. The vehicle was built around 1950 with a 1939 Ford stretched chassis. It currently has a flat head 8 in it, though one person mentioned it might have had a Lincoln V-12 in it at one time. The front and rear fenders are off of a late 40's Lincoln Continintal. The front fenders are in fact Lincoln rear fenders turned backwards! The grill is from a 1946-48 Nash. This vehicle has been rumored to have been featured in one or more late 40's - 1950's car magazines. However at this point, that as well as the name of the builder of the vehicle remains a mystery. Please circulate these photos and info with your friends, and feel free to post this on the various hot rod chat rooms and web sites. We will have it at Big Daddy Don Garlits museum in Ocala FL tomorrow. Then the fun begins! Thanks, George Albright, Ocala FL cell 352-843-1624 email gnalbright@gmail.com"

What kind of a monster a man has to be, to do this hideous deed to an innocent automobile... - even if it was only a ford...

From the seats back it might have some hope, but that front end,

I would proudly give this car garage space. I like it!
