Anyone know the heck this is?

A custom Kaiser Frazer??????????????

That's, um, the weirdest grille opening I have ever seen !

a widemouth bass?

 

Could be a blow fish.................lol

 

I dated a gal that looked like that when ya flipped her over.
As for the car. it's a corvette

 

A car!

 

Modified Woodill? http://www.americansportscars.com/wildfire.html
What is the running gear? Not a Kaiser Darrin because the fenders behind the front tires are not long enough for the pocket doors.

 

Looks cool to me... cept the butthole grille!

 

Close. This is actually a Kaiser-Darrin. And the car above does resemble it and is wearing what appears to be 55 Ford Hubcaps. However, the door on the car you posted looks to be front-hinged, and the Darrin doors aren't hinged...they slide into the rear quarter.

BUT, do you know if the car you posted is METAL or FIBERGLASS ? If it's glass it could be a different, early, kit-car type unit, or, one of the low-run independents that were prolific during the 50's-60's. If it's metal, well, more research has gotta be done.

sphinctermobile !!!

 

It's got possibilities!

 

Some kind of fiberglass something or another with a Hudson steering wheel and a bad ass really cool SW 2 1/4" tach. Sort of resembles, less the grill area, a 50's Mercedes Benz roadster.

 

reminds me of a old girlfriend

 

When fiberglass kit cars became all the rage there were companies all over cranking out stuff like this. The sales pitch was, plop it on an early Ford chassis and be the envy of all your neighbors. I'm betting this was one of those early experiments.

Aside from that God awful grille opening, it really doesn't look too bad IMO.

They slide into the front fender.

 

I don't know what it is but it looks like it was parked in front of the weinermobile......

 

Bingo!

 

looks like a nash ambassidor, highly ugly-fied.

 

Its a candidate for a grill change asap! Park it next to an Edsel and I can imagine the comments offered.

 

Look like 55-56 Ford wheel covers.
Probably a home built "custom" from the 50s.
Some of the magazines like Popular Mechanics offered plans
for do it yourselfers.

Might be a neat car to restore - probably re-do the front end for
better looks.

 

Looks kinda Kurtis'ish

1949 back half?


1954-55 500M cowl/front half w/custom & 49-50 parts


kinda '52 Muntz Jet looking too


Oh, and part Blowfish


good luck ID'ing it

does it have a motor/trans/ and what rearend?
what bolt pattern wheels?
what does front suspension and frame look like?

could be a cool car with a nose job

 

First version of the Ford Probe?

 

whatever it is its been busy, looks like most of her lipstick is worn off

 

@winning!

.i'd drive the hell out of it.
