Customs Mystery Kit Car

Oh wait, I know what it is. It's a Johnny Cash Mobile. Remember the song "One Piece at a Time"?

 

^^^^^ "negatory on" "this mow-chine there Red Ryder"

 

A Metropolitan is Uni-body without any frame and having had a 55 the rag tops were flimsy as all get out. Park at a bit of an angle and you either couldn't get the door to open or close.
I'd say it came from that era when a lot of guys thought they could build their own sports car body out of fiberglass and few had the greatest design talent.

 

I agree, they're ALL ugly. But you're 18, it's prom night, you have a choice of these cars to take this really pretty girl to the dance. Which will it be? Remember...I'm drinking a Pepsi

I think we need to have a photoshop expert take some of the ugly off and see what it looks like.

 

Well whatever it is, it sold. Not to me.

 

Leno bought it?

Walking was always an option. I get ya tho.

 

Coyote Ugly is if she was sleeping on your arm, you did't want to wake her, so you chewed your arm off.

 

@sevenhills1952 ......I’ll take number 4.....

 

Done.

 

So... MO54; are you the newest proud owner ready to do a "saved it" HAMB thread, then proudly show it off at all the next HAMB meets... ? .
Marcus...

 

Now watch, it's probably based on a Crosley and the engine has all kinds of Braje parts (or a DOHC conversion), or it has a Chevy 4 with an Ansen head, OR a supercharged Offy 270 under the hood!

 

Never thought I'd live long enough to see a Frisky and a Bond Bug in the same post on the HAMB...
(and no, I didn't have to look either of them up)

 

.... A 5 horse Briggs and Stratton...

 

During the day, park it in front of the competition's shop to drive business your way.

 

I'm surprised its still up. I posted a photo of a shorted VW bus on another tread about shortened cars and a mod deleted it since it was a VW. Maybe the posted photos are OK cause they help to ID the car in the OP. No biggie, just wondering.

I dunno about you people but that is an AMC Concorde in the background (behind the mystery car) and if it's the same as the AMC Eagle wagon I used to own (Eagle was basically a 4wd Concorde) those front seats leaned back until they were completely horizontal. I'll take a pass on the odd little roadster and happily take the AMC to prom thanks

 

I was going to say the same thing!

I didn’t buy it. Wouldn’t.
I think it’s based on a Crosley. (Image the power of that 44 cu in engine.).
