Customs Show us your 4 door hardtop!

Big Deal! Get over it!!!! I like looking at cars.

 

No, they're right. I for one, have not removed my post after chopping the Lincoln yet. I'm sorry. PLEASE ignore the Lincoln!!!!!!!

 

Sorry, but I thought it was a post for 4dr hard tops, not just any 4 door... I like lookin at cars too, but its like opening a deuce roadster post and lookin at model t's.... I came here to see the subject in the title, not that other 4door thread...

 

I'm diggin' the Lincoln!

 

Yeah, that thing is bad ass.

 

Heres my 62' Chrysler the day I got it...



Here it is after a few months of work...I now have the engine final installed, interior back in, jambs cut in and am prepping it for paint hopefully this week...Black with flaked roof and side inserts....

 

so my good buddy comes by about 25 years ago and tells me about this 50's custom 56 chevy he saw on a backroad sitting by a house. tells me it has a whole different roof on it and we have to go and check it out.

so we get out there and what is it? you guessed it, a 56 4 door hardtop, all stock. what a goofball.

 

here's a pic of my '64 galaxie 500 XL...i SOLD it back to a guy who used to own it and wanted it more than me...i miss it...

 

In the process of making a 4drht!

 

I prefer the 4 door top to the 2 door top, they should have used it on the coupes.

 

This thing is BAD.

 

here's my Great Grandmother's oldsmobile... now mine!

 

At least we can all count to four!

 

Had this 56 a long time ago.

 

Here's my 60 Impala before I returned it to stock. At the time these photos were taken it had a 350 hp 348, 4 speed and a posi. Sold it last fall and now it's living in New Jersey.

 

Yes, please do. I'm currently woefully uninformed of the difference.

 

My club pal Martin's 56 Olds Holiday SEDAN:



EDIT: I know the Oldsmobile marketing guys used the word "sedan" to name the car I posted above, but the reality is that it's a four door hard top. I just thought the name was ironic. That's why I posted it to this thread about hard tops!

To clarify for those that don't know, hard tops don't have a B-pillar division or window frames affixed to the doors. Some have bright trim that moves up and down with the side windows, some don't. They come in the two and four door varieties.

Any two or four door that has a division at the B-pillar and has window frames affixed to the doors is not a hard top – it's a sedan.

 

I like the use of later Marauder wheels on that pink beauty. I know where a 64 4 dr hardtop in a wrecking yard is. Very savable.

 

a very nice group, indeed

 

I love 4dr hardtops, here is my driver. Some day I'll start working on the outside.

 

here is a 1961 Monarch Richeleau I just Sold

 

Nice car. I love the rear visor and glass, similar to my olds too.
What year and model?

 

Straykatkustom, even if you haven't "started" on the outside yet, it would be nice to see some more of your driver. The '60 Mercury grill and '59 Bonnieville tail lights are just too cool. -Dave.

 

I'm assuming this is a Meteor? I've never seen one!

 

wood remover, if the new owner of your '61 Monarch fell off the roof of his garage and landed on the top of that car it would be a hard top to fall on, but the car is still not a HARD TOP. Need to loose the "B" pillar and the fixed frames around the door glass to be a hard top. Still a nice sedan. -Dave.

 

Even the big wig advertisers get confused.
"Introducing the new mini 4 door hardtop"

Doesn't follow the general rule of thumb for hardtops in mine or many peoples books. Just a sales pitch perhaps?

 

I've had this '50 ford for almost a year. I drove it every day last summer. It rides real low when I have all my cousins packed into it.
