Interesting seats in that Jeep

 

Is that Duane Koefed in the drivers seat of the formerly Dick Flint roadster, before it was sold to Don Orosco?

 

As the song said "Those were the days".

 

A nice Mopar coupe.

 

Yes, with the Sam Conrad and Dick Scritchfield cars behind it.

 

me thinks its a 1928-29 Ford wants to run in coupe class,with DeSota grille

 

Car on the right was run by my dad and his buddies. Photo from on of Pat Ganahl’s books. Oops, that was an explanation.

I’d call it a history lesson actually. Just sayin.

 

32 DeSoto ???

 

Looks like it,,,

 

Today as we think back on these famous custom cars we all thought they were perfect but actually they were driver used cars lucky to have been steamed off before starting. But to be honest the rebuilds of them found and done today are what we thought were were looking at.
Then they were masked off a painted outside or in a garage with no booth. Body revisions with a torch and lead filled. Done in a matter of days or weeks not years like Kendig today. Back in the 50’s a $1000 could get you a nice custom and $2000 a great one. Today it’s $100,000 to start with and no thinks twice about it.
In 1960 I was working for a $1.25 per and $50 paint job was tops.

 

heavy hitter , any info on this one havent seen it

miss you dad

 

I'm with @verde742 on this one. While it is a Desoto grille, the body appears to have started out as an early A. It doesn't have the suicide doors of the Desoto.
