History A History of the Anglia Gasser

Not Gassers but a bunch I saw today

 

Nice. Is that a local club?

 

Rare big window right there as well......thanks for taking the time to post all these loudbang !

 

Tell us more please. When were big windows made? I presume the quarter windows are larger and maybe no bustle in the rear ala Prefect?

 

A new myth...
Optical illusion..!
Look at the fender to the door dimension, look at the drip rail to window to the "C" panel, as compared between the white car and the purple car.
Same as the white car.
The difference...is the way that the quarter window is mounted in the body..!!

Years back I know a guy in Glendale, Ca., that at one time, had a copy of every Anglia in 1949, even a roadster, 1/2 ton truck (ugly!).
No..."big" window ever built. I'd like to see a sales brochure with that car in it.

Yep 100 percent correct.

 

Well here is a shot taken by @enloe with four, but the front one is chopped, and all the windows in this shot look different sizes. But if you blow it up all the windows end just after the rear axle centerline.

 

I may be wrong but isn't he talking about the truck in the back ground. ?????

 

Bye Jove I believe you have solved the conundrum.

 

You know 33 maybe you're right. I didn't even notice the truck at first glance. Not that I'm an expert on pickup truck rear windows.

 

Between the black and the green car...
Yes, they do look different. One's chopped, and one isn't.
That in itself changes the whole perspective. Even being chopped, different people use different methods for chopping a top. One can make a car look one way, another can make a car look different with the same, 3" chop (not talking model "T" tops).
If you look...even the door window looks longer on the green car..!
Not saying it ain't 100% so, but we need to look at like vs. like.

In England

 

Sorry I'm always looking outside the box like my brothers kept me in. Yes it's a 1956 Ford big window cab in the back ground.....the same year as me ! Will try and be more silent in the future.....

^^^^^^ Looks similar to the Bobbin Bear Anglia that is in my shop. I know they are not the same car but similar with color, plexiglass, and fender treatment.

 

Gotta love a going sideways wheelie...

 

H/G must have been a Six?
