Customs And then there was a 57 Nackardbaker to pass on

The cut and paste is from the sellers xBay(not mine) Buy It Now ad.
Better act quick or it may be gone - or NOT.

I believe this car started out as a tiny 1937-1955 Fiat 500 or Topolino ("little mouse" in Italian). It was later extensively modified and became a mid-engine sports car with a custom fabricated steel body. The Fiat 500 was a front engine car with rear wheel drive. It had a 4 cylinder 569cc water cooled engine mounted in the front. The radiator was located behind the engine. The crank pulley at the front of the engine had a belt running up to a generator that was on top of the cylinder head. The back of the generator had a shaft sticking out that the radiator cooling fan was mounted on

Use a Packard grille and you can't go wrong with a Custom?

 

Fugly! HRP

 

diggin' the deuce cowl/fender vent...I kinda like it, in a weird sorta way

 

Agreed Larry, it is weird, no other words can describe it as well.

 

Can you provide contact or ad info?

 

Looks like someone forgot to neuter their Karmann Ghia and then a hornyMetropolitan got in the back yard.

 

Too funny^^^^^^^

 

perfect candidate for an LS swap...

 

dressed right, and a mercruiser 4 cyl.............

 

I have to say I don't hate it.

 

Needs a blown Hemi.

 

Cuter than a bug's peter.

 

Too bad Packard didn't persue something like this. I like it.

 

If it'd loose those olds "98" hubcaps circa 1978 ......... Then somebody'd hit buy it now.

 

Looks like 52-54 Lincoln chrome headlight bezels too.

 

It needs a little something something, and a lot of something else.
I wouldn't mind owning it, and it could be fun.

I preferes it over the over the late model OT truck.

 

I'm guessing the headlight rings to be early '50s Studebaker.
