Jack Nethercutt’s 1952 Oldsmobile

I was tooling around the Life Archive the other day and stumbled upon these shots of Jack Nethercutt’s ’52 Oldsmobile otherwise known as the “Vienesse.” The only other shots of this car that I’ve ever seen are in a 1960’s era Custom Illustrated Magazine and in that feature, I was shocked to read that it was only chopped four inches.

Four inches my ass… That thing is hammered…

In any case, other than what you see here I actually know very little about the car. So I thought I would feature it today in hopes that the custom historians would speak up and tell us the story of this very speak 1952 Olds.

Fellas? You got your ears on?
