Art & Inspiration Ever see a car that just takes your breath away?

Yep it is in Detroit area still a family friend owns it and he has some beautiful rods and.....it!!! It is white with a half vinyl top with 67? mercury cougar headlight doors and an Edsel grill any way I love the car before and i am one of the few people that like now to its just so ugly its cool

 

for me it is a couple of cars one I cannot find a picture of it but some others would be John Davies Coupe

 

Any 35 or 36 Ford coupe!

 

This one is on my top 5 list of all time Model A's. I am trying to convince my brother to eventually build his coupe much like this. Looks like it's going to eat children for breakfast.

 

ALL OF THE ABOVE !!!! Excellant Pictures Guys ,,,

 

Yes, Dick Patterson's A Coupe was the one that did it for me. It was and has become an icon of Hot Rods. All home built in his garage!!!

 

...my friend just got his F-100 painted...

 

I saw this 1929 Cord coupe several years ago at an ACD event in Auburn, IN. Not a hot rod, but to me this is some very cool styling.

 

Your silly!

 

That one is cool but the funny thing is, every time I see your avatar, my breath is taken away. That ride of yours is killer. Plus a hand full of other hamber's cars. My $.02

 

Obviously you have nothing important to add to this thread! Why waste our time...

 

I love Dick Patterson's coupe too! This truck is on my top 5 too i stare at it all day!!!

 

The Hirohata Merc does it for me, with respect to customs. For hot rods- the Mooneyham and Sharp coupe!

 

I'm not sure who owns this or where the picture was taken but this roadster yells HOT ROD!
I'd paint it shiney black though........

 

this is one of my all-time favorite cars EVER! i first saw it in the Rodder's Journal, but got to inspect it later at a Goog Guys show. it is flawlessly beautiful. i'm glad i got to see it again last year at the Flying A Garage before it fell back into oblivion.

 

Jim Inglese "Full House" does it for me! I'm collecting parts and details with the gracious help of Jimrob who has been unbelievably helpful in nailing the details. Ever since I saw that one on the Wildwood NJ Boardwalk years ago I can't get it out of my head. My ultimate toy.

 

This one does it for me . I like hot rods.

 

This one

 

EVERY TIME I OPEN MY GARAGE !!!

Theres alot of breath taking cars in here! Heres two of my favorites...

 

couldn't find a pic " in the 20 sec i looked" but cole foster's AD chevy truck. over the top in so many simple ways, made me step back and ask myself what in the hell changed!! i couldn't think of another way that style truck should look. i think about it at least twice a day since 2002

 

I'm a Hot Rodder and a Kustom Kar Freek ,,i fell in love with this Merc when I took this pic,,in '57 ,sitting at Ed Roths Shop ,after Ed Roth taught me how to pin stripe ,,i wa a 15 year old kid from Iowa ,, ,,,i've dreamed about that Schneider Merc ever since ,,It's a one of a kind ,,Nobody has even tried to duplicate or clone it since it dissapeared in '60 or so ,,

 

A Really Rare Color Pic of that Schneider Merc ,,,there ain't many ,,

 

Yeah, that coupe is wild. Does anyone know if it still exists in that form or at all?

would love to see some pic's of it as it is today.

 

Man it would be hard to decide from any of the 3 40's above. All are beautiful and timeless in their looks. These pictures could have been taken 40 years ago.

 

Not many cars that "take my breath away".
Most cars I see- even those that others see as perfect- I'm rebuilding them in my mind.

Until I laid eyes on this.
JJ Barnhardt's 32 5 window.
Only thing I would change is the name on the title.

Oh- and I'd run the hood sides like the 1st pic.

 

For me , this one ....

 

OMG, Still...you aint just a kiddin'...my desktop background now. Cars like that come close to ruining me for any others, and I'm dead serious. Hear's one that might be allowed to park next to it...maybe behind it...a 1937 Cadillac Series 90 coupe.






And another 1937 Cadillac Series 90...a 2-door sedan...in chocolate brown. Yum.
