    Without a doubt one of the best bodymen ever, I don't think I'm far off the mark in saying that Bertolucci was about 18 years old when he did this top...And it's a Lift-Off! (Check closely for the seam.)

  5. Yes, that's Bonneville and an early shot of the Merc before the taillights were moved up to the fenders and the exhaust was routed through the bumper.

  6. 32 Ford from the 50's with full moons like I still run on my cars, full teanu cover, chopped windshield, small headlights and whitewalls. Great look.

    Potential! I like the ride height. I am sure the owner is loving it the way it is now. Hey it's right hand drive.... Is it an Australian car?

    ^^^ WOW! Wonder where that one got to?
    Wonder if it was a slantback or trunk?

    Also, I wonder if the 36 conv sedan on craiglist has a body id tag?

    I'll have to call him to see.

    Thanks for sharing the 36 conv sedan info... that makes the 204th one known to exist.
    I don't have any records of any with a 40 deluxe front end.. maybe it is still out there waiting for us to find it!
