  4. Isn't the 3-window still around? I'm sure I've seen some current pictures of it painted red, in some eastern show pics.

    You just made my day! Seeing pics like these is why I take pictures around the shop now. The every day stuff we tinker with now will be cool for are young ones to see some day. Those are some dangerous looking hoodlums too.:D
     
  8. Thanks. Those pics are sooooo cool!
    There was a 3W on Evil-Bay recently, I thought it may be the same body/car,I checked the add and no it was not.

    Great pics! I especially love the one where it's going around the corner- you know the driver of the other car had to have that "what the hell is that" look on their face. Thanks for sharing.

    i'm glad everyone is enjoying these pix as much as i do:D they were taken in 1953 in altoona,pa. i just think,how cool would it be to run around town in one of these cars in 1953!
     
  24. Absolutely love the shot of the guy with his arm extended out over the lowered lid.

    Made my day. Reminds me of a channeled 3 window I had in the 60's. Had a Nailhead sitting on a 2 x 4 between the rails when I bought it. Paid $210.00, a fortune for me then.

    Very cool pictures. My Dad always talks about the cars he and his friends had in the 50's, said they never thought to take pictures of them at that time.
