Features Four Spots in the Perfect Garage

You're right, I do need a custom.

 

You could do worse

 

Custom: 49 Caddy
Hot Rod: 29 Ford roadster
Race Car: 65 Chevelle (NHRA Stocker)
Shop truck: 1952 COE
I'm working on 3 of 4 and should concentrate on one.

 

I have them, except only one is finished. Talk about project creep/stall!

40 coupe mild custom
31 roadster
41 pickup
OHV banger sprint car

 

This Roadster is breathtaking!...........It's got all of the proper ingredients.

 

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm,
1940 Ford Semi Custom pick em up
1928 Land Speed Roadster
1928 Street Roadster
1952 Chevy Ute Shop truck
And the rest of the mess

 

land speed roadster
street roadster

 

My 27 roadster on 32 rails
A custom chopped 46 coupe (for when it's raining)
A belly tank 4 cyl Bonneville car
An F1 shop truck

 

Well, I've almost been there, just not all at once.
'49 Olds 98 mild custom. I kind of wish I hadn't got rid of it.
'31 Ford RPU, I have one now.
Rear engine modified roadster, lakes racer. Never had one, but I sure wish I did.
'53/'56 F 100. Baby blue, whitewalls, white tarp and interior, This is in the "someday" column.

 

Clearly you don't live in Los Angeles.
Maybe a 2 spot garage.
Cadillac
Plymouth
more to come..

 

I'd prefer two slight variations:

Custom: '65 Riviera
Hot Rod: '29 Roadster
Muscle Car: '66 Chevelle
Shop Truck: '66 C10

 

custom: chopped 49-50 Chevrolet
HotRod: fenderless chopped 34 5 window
race car: <<< see avatar
shop truck: brand new Chevrolet or GMC 1 ton

 

Ok, I’ll take a swing at this.

Custom: ‘61 Starliner

Hot rod: ‘26/‘27 track T, V8-85

Race car: Carl Kiekhaefer’s 1956 Chrysler 300 B

Shop Truck: 1964 Dodge D100 with a 426 street wedge.

Spot 1: @Bobby Green 's old Stude pickup


Spot 2: Frank Maratta's Rake

Spot 3: Stone, Woods, and Cook


Spot 4: A Shop Truck

 

Love the Cannarozzi Roadster! Forgot how perfect it turned out. Ryan what size front tires are those?

 

I have never been much of a custom guy so I would go with two race cars

(1) My 53 Chevrolet-


(2) My Tudor soon to be period correct late 50's early 60's stock car


This but more sophisticated, and with a 261 Chev 6


(3) A clone of one of my Father's Late Models-


(4) A tow truck, A 1960 suburban would be the Cat's Ass!

 

I'd do this:
1. 57 Olds ragtop
2. 39 Ford coupe w/ 324 Olds an a 4speed
3.Early 50s Allard w/ 331 Caddy
4. Early Econoline pickup w/289

 

These would make me happy... for a while, anyway.
1. 1951 Mercury (see avatar)
2. 1934 Ford 3 window with a pretty radical chop
3. 1955 Chevy blown big block
4. 1941 Chevy pick up

 

Only 4???
That would be like being 21 years old in a women's prison with a fist full of pardons being told you can only have 4!!! I'm well over the limit and I still lust for more...

 

1- 50-53 Hudson, low and mean looking
2- my 29 roadster
3- my 57 tuned for the strip
4- I have to agree with Ryan, 40-41 Ford pick up. The coolest ever

 

I am more inclined to have 20-40 in a warehouse so I can drive whatever suits my fancy at that particular moment. And then sell some every now and then, so I can pursue and buy more. Oh wait! That is pretty much how it is now!

How about Showtime for my hotrod?
How about the Royal Tahitian for my custom?
How about the 56 Cameo for my shop truck? I will be VERY careful.
How about the HotRod 50 Olds for my easy to get along with race car?

 

Custom: '36 3-window Ford (like Ruby)


Hot Rod: 1932 Model A (Like Chemical City Hotrod)

Race Car: 1967 Fairlane - Aurocross style

Shop truck: 1957 - 1961 F100

 

1949 Olds
1927 T Roadster
1929 A Roadster
1953 Ford

Ask me tomorrow and it will likely be four different choices

 

If I could have a custom it would be a mildly modified 53/54 Chevy Bel Air hardtop. I've got the Hot Rods covered with 5 running deuces one of which is my (shop truck ?) a 32 Ford Highboy PU. I really have no interest in race cars as I get my race fix driving my 2014 Corvette until some day when I get caught and fined for exhibition of speed. Local cops say I'm to old for all these toys?

 

Custom: 1949-50 Mercury
Hot Rod: '34 Ford
Racecar: Jaguar E type
Shop Truck: 1937 Chevy (see avatar) also a custom.

 

Custom: Tail-dragger like Jesus Valencia's Chevy:
Hot rod: Black '32 5w, like the Busby coupe, but Hemi-powered.
Race car: 15 oz coupe.
Shop truck: Plain vanilla '61 Chevy stepside .

 

I like the 4 car idea, but for now I'm very happy driving my one rod. Maintenance on one driver keeps me busy.

 

I agree with Phil. Just enjoy the heck out of the one I have. Snowman
