Do you Think This Car Needs to Be Chopped a Few Inches?

That is sooo cool!!!

It is really big! I bet it's one of the only hot rod era cars yoiu could put 20's and 22's on and not piss off all of the HAMBer's because they would actually FIT! LOL

 

It has 35's on it now!

 

That would piss off the DONK guys. " Oh yeah well I'm rollin' 35's beeyaatch!!"

 

neat piece of history ya have there !
I would have to build another body and have the hot rod version to go with it

 

Does your Woods have the stains on the roof and back seat upholstery that were characteristic of the Pollard cars that were hung from the rafters by their front ends? It seems the steering box fluids would seep down the steering shafts and then drip into the interiors of many of the cars.

 

My car was not one of the ones that hung

 

I just Googled Stanley Steamer for sale, and I came across this ad. That same car selling for $125,000.

It is a collectors item and only a fool with money would destroy car like that............. Even if it was selling for $2000. I would not f*ck with it. I would have to much fun driving it as is.

 

What ever you do dont chop it restore it!!!!

 

sell it don't chop it

 

ZOMG!!!!!11!!!!!!!!ONE!!!!!!1!!!!!!!

Another one!!!!!!!!

WTH are you guys coming from?


Also:

You do realize that the OP isn't the owner, right?
And that the car isn't going to be chopped, right?

 

Thank goodness, for a few minutes I thought it might actually be in peril of being chopped. Any car that rare should be left alone or a concours restoration done. Every car that comes along does NOT need to be chopped. There are a lot of bitchen hot rods that have a stock height top.

the real question is... does it have a whistle?...

 

What about something like this?

 

See the video

 

OK- I'm against cutting up the original car...

...but building a rod on a T chassis based on those bodylines (if not those proportions) would be really cool.

If any of you tinbenders want to make a name for yourselves...build this car!

 

Here is my T Hot Rod

 

Great Car!!!!

It's not like you step in the car and turn the key and drive away!!!

How long does it take to get a whole "Head of Steam"...???

Hmmm... if you park next to a Pacer... it'll look like it had a Baby!!!

 

15 minutes from dead cold and and your off and going. Chuff Chuff

 

hel no..leave like it is.that cool looking...maybe update the drivetrain a little but leave the overall apperance stock..

 

Please don't even consider it! HRP

 

Mr. Laferriere,
Beautifull car you have there, and I wish you luck with the sale. I would however like to make a sugestion...

If the car were ever to receive a full on resto, I'm thinking it would be worthwile to pull some glass molds off the original parts. There is simply no denying how absolutely bad-ass that car looks chopped and dropped, and I'd be willing to bet if you, or someone, could offer a chopped glass body with those killer lines, you would probably be able to sell enough of them to make it worth your while.

Hmmm... Maybe even offer it in the top hat version as well.

 

Except of course for all of the cutting and modifications

Based on James427's posts, this was just meant to be eye candy...seems that we get so used to seeing the T's and A's in so many different incarnations, many forget about what else was around for the uppercrust to drive around in...

Thanks for sharing the picture...

 

at 125k i would think that your giving the car away?.

 

Clean it up and save it as an example of a Model T, I know a guy that did that and its a really neat car. I haven't seen many T coupes that I think made cool hot rods.

 

Except, it's not a Model T.

Hell, it's not even a Ford.

 

neat car for sure , looks alot like this 1913 cadillac

 

Is that an old Franklin?

 

Don't chop...and dont' drive thru any neighborhoods that has rotten ass kids that throw rocks.

 

I like modifying cars as much as the next guy, but theres enough things out there that should be modified before they get junked. pristine cars should be left just that. chop something else.

 

Don't rod it and don't restore it. Just keep it like it is.

You can take people on rides like this one.
