Is this an operating salvage yard? If so, can you post more info about it. I assume it's somewhere close to St. Louis? Thanks!
the yard is called http://www.desertclassics.com/ and i think it is a custom buick made for some cowboy guy
I just googled "Roy Rogers Custom car" on a hunch about which "cowboy guy" and sure enough...it was a prop used in his TV show! Cool.
A home built custom sports car. Pretty popular in the 50s. Assembled from many different car parts on a who knows what chassis. You would see them in Popular Mechanics and other car magazines of that time. Check out the pictures of the 2011 Jalopyrama for a similar car made from assorted body parts. The Jalopyrama car had the receipts from the dealerships where the parts were bought. I used to think that they were used body parts but this guy bought new parts and kept the receipts. The style is similar in that it is a long wheelbase 2 seater open sports car body. Many of the movie stars had coach built custom cars built for them and lots of backyard builders copied the theme.
