Features Lost & Found: Time Capsule Three-Window

Cool find. Good luck with the project. Needs an injected flathead though. He he.

 

Just awesome!!!!!

 

UPDATE:
On closer inspection of the photo it shows a sign saying, 'Bodywork by Maedel's' aka Charles 'Ted' Maedel.

Big thanks to Mark Mazur for the photos.

 

Looking through this book today and struck gold!!! A color pic of the car at the Toledo Auto Rama in April 1959.

Turns out that Wayne Knudson was a member of The Cluster Busters (Established 1948) from Indianapolis, Indiana!

Any members on here???

 

Shit that’s cool!

 

I can’t even imagine having a hot rod with history let alone one that keeps having phenomenal photos pop up from the past

 

Thanks Tim! I feel very lucky to own this car!!

 

Thank you Jim Semon for scanning the original negative and getting me this version of the photo!!!

 

Rods Illustrated featuring an article on 'Bucket Seats'.
My coupe featured on the bottom right!

Thanks Shockley Kustoms for finding it!

 

Wow. This is a Time Machine. Glad you were able to find pics of its glory days.

 

cant wait to see this one come together!

 

Any updates?

 

Always seems so sad to see a pristine hot rod get put away and slowly deteriorate .
But the good news is that it's been found and is being reborn.

 

Nothing much to report, but did finally got the 16 inch wheels on the front and it makes a huge difference.

 

A little better! This looks like so much fun, good luck.

 

Finally got the car out of the container to see what it looks like with the new wheels and tires.
Boy is she low!
I LOVE it.

 

Cool hotrod and look forward to the build or restoration

 

Cool car, great history. The poor thing was for sale in all the pictures from its’ show career. Did the original builder go on to create other show cars?

 

She's at The Kennedy Brothers.

 

Can anyone tell me anything about the Cluster Busters from Toledo, Ohio that is unrelated to the infamous Cluster Busters Indianapolis club?

Does anyone have any information on Wayne Knudsen who was a member or when was the club active? Any members still active?

Photos, articles, posters, anything about the club?? Does anyone have a car club plaque that looks like this that I can buy or borrow to make a copy to put on the car?

 

Kennedy Brothers wasting no time.

Cutting out all the garbage the previous owner did and taking it back to 1957.

 

Yeah buddy!

 

Pretty Dang, cool.

 

The Kennedy Brothers do not waste any time!

 

Those guys still in the Pomona area?

 

Update from the Kennedy Brothers.

Jay Kennedy was looking through some photos his father had taken in Toledo in 1958 and low and behold....a photo of the coupe!!

 

Also...mocking everything back up with the K Member and stock 1932 front cross member before it all comes apart again to the frame can be blasted and repaired.
