    :rolleyes:...What a cool shot @Jet96...you can spot that Caddy a mile away and that Roadster sure has got the business first then looks in a good way going on for sure...by the way which roadster are you referring to?...I just went back...are you talking the Desoto Grilled one on page 2?

    Hey Stogy I had to go back and look- it appears that is a later photo of Bill Cole's roadster. A9FEC20F-C5BE-4358-B951-DAFECD0D5202.jpeg 6DF9FF8D-A5F8-4E44-82B3-AB16C9B013C3.jpeg 7BA654F3-55A9-4F33-A435-ACC93C4DD4F2.jpeg

    To be honest, I think I prefer the early more subtle version...

    The Caddy powered Hotrod behind the Custom is a 33 or 34...

    You are right they do look better with some Clothes on the Nose so too speak...but back then I believe dressed down wasn't uncommon as the Dough was low n' slow for many...

    Funny the 36 Dwarfs it...:eek:

    Yes...That guy was a talent...so many levels and well executed in each stage of the evolving vision and mixing it up too boot and nailing it. Hotrod/Custom.

    :rolleyes:...Soon to be Parted out...:D

    Worth a chuckle but ideas for Hotrods were born out of this...noting both are Half Fendered and then the wild pedal to the metal daredevil Yahoo Antics...

    We remember you Hoodlums...Thanks for the Memories...

    Good Times are worth Smiling over...

    :rolleyes:...El Mirage 1947

    Perhaps purpose defined removal but I'm sure Conversation revolved about the look and I know if I was in that Truck I'd have felt the Spirit of Hotrod in my bones...;)

    :rolleyes:...the Fender in the Trunk Debate...

    Either or Has equal Positives for looks but laws and Shortcomings some of it Regional and equal to Highboys of course drive a wedge into the total sense of it all...I am fortunate as mine is a fairweather Hotrod...No problems

    These at one time were dailies...I'm glad to live just some of what that was like...

    It looks either an inspired along the lines of the Cole Roadster or in fact the same perhaps years later...the Hoodsides share the same Louver pattern with the Stance and Bobbed Fenders very similar...

    The Duvall windshield also making for an all around home run for me...I'd be interested what's under the hood V12/16 inline 6 or 8...all plausible options...I want it in my garage.​

    :rolleyes:...This pic so does it for me...Ones Vision I can see perfection in Lines before the Fullness is realized...Hotrodders are Artists...quite simply put...If this builder didn't draw they sure did it in metal...

    This is from @ss34coupe's collection I believe...I wonder if this saw the Finish Line...
