Re: Gasser on Woodward
That actuallly makes a pretty nice gasser or street freak, which ever term you prefer. There is a Mercury Comet hardtop like that sitting behind a business near us and for years we have periodically stopped to ask if it might be for sale. The answer is always the same, "No, going to build it some day", and we have seen it go from really clean to just so so now.

Re: Gasser on Woodward
I saw that one! Not really a gasser, but I loved the Thunderbolt in the pic below. My first time at Woodward, but definitely won't be my last!

Re: Gasser on Woodward
You guys are right,more of a street freak than a gasser.Still cool to see on the street though.This was my 4th year,wouldn't miss August in Michigan for nothing.Here's one a little more traditional for ya.

Re: Gasser on Woodward
Thanks, Just what i was thinkin. Kinda prefer the lower look. Rear tires tucked or radiused fenders and leaves myself. I think that was the more traditional look before ladder bars.

Willys? You mean this one? That's a 1940 Ford coupe. Common mistake.
