Hot Rods Vintage Mag. Feature of the Week: Dick Patterson '31 Coupe

You're a real inspiration, Dick. It's a killer car. Love how tight the Y-block is to the firewall (did you have to dimple it for the disty?), the rake, the top, the outa-site interior and the dual-McCulloch Y-block is indelibly etched in my feeble mind (got one VS-57 and on the prowl for the other).

Many thanks for the creativity you've shown!

 

did you hear that washington state guys? wow. imagine finding that car. and welcome to the Hamb mr. patterson, got any story's to share regarding that car and how it came to be?

 

thanks bass, i love this car.....i have a few random pics of it ive got off the web but never had the articles....too cool, thats my my ultimate dream motor right there drooooooool

 

I have heard somewhere that Rocklegend Jeff Beck owns it now. But im not shure.

 

Good idea Bass! Looking forward to the next one.

 

wonderful thread! missing pics are a drag. would really like to see them. please keep it up!

 

How Rad is the back view of this car? It looks so menacing for a show car and i think that's where this one differs from some of the cars being built back then and labeled as a show car. This one still looks like a hot rod even though it has all of the superfluous 60's type stuff. I never go crazy about cars this wild but this one has me hook, line, & sinker. RAAAAAAAADDD!!!

Then the guy that built it comes on in less the a couple hours and verifies what he did. Man I love this place.

 

Here are a few I have. dad cleaning the bubble top at a show.

I'm ready to see more of this one or some others now Brian

 

Thank You Sir.

 

This car is so cool!

Bump for a cool old thread, and a 'did anyone figure out what happened to this Coupe', question.
