History Sectioned 1936 Ford Phaeton/Convertible

Dog427435 posted this photo on the "Cool Pictures!" post... and I got intrigued.

So I did some searching and found the source of the photo.

The photo was taken by a photographer named Tim Heffernan.
And apperently the photo was taken in Philmont NY.

The photo has been awarded, and get 195 comments on his Flickr site. But none of them comments about the fact that this is a very nicely done sectioned and possibly channeled 1936 Ford Roadster or Phaeton.
I think the photo might have been Photoshopped to create the color effects. But I do not think the sectioning was done in photoshop.

Perhaps the car is sitting in the barn where it was Photographed by Tim...

I dont have a Flickr account... but perhaps somebody who has one could contact Tim Heffernan, and ask where he took the photo's.. and see if the car is still at that barn, and could possibly be saved.... Would be nice

Here is a link to his Flickr account.

The Photo...

 

cool, thats what i was thinking, were is this thing!

My first reactiion is that it is a faux finished AMT '36 Ford model.

 

Cool pic.....
The headlight lenses are different sizes...
If this is in fact a real car...it needs SAVED!

 

Looks like a 30's Dodge hump back panel behind it.

 

In a old Hot Rod mag there was a ad for a '36 identical to that in NJ or NY.

 

Not the same but from the same region.

 

How old is that ad??

 

Ah...... May 1962.

 

I sent him a message through flickr(which is owned by yahoo now)... so if I find out anything interesting, I'll let ya'll know.

Aren't there anyone from Philmont, NY here that could contact Tim?

 

I sent him a message in flickr(which is owned by yahoo, so if you have a yahoo email you can use that to log in)... this is all he wrote back:

Hi.
Thanks...
I'll see if I can get it...
How much should I offer for it as is?
thanks

Did this ever go anywhere?

 

Almost 2 years later, was the car found ?

 

Old post.... looks like the car has finally been found by somebody who cared enough to let it go to somebody who can restore it... FOR SALE...

Update... SOLD!

But the photos can be seen on my site HERE

 

It is interesting to see the rest of the car at least.

Got lucky to see the pic's before the add was pulled. Very cool car. Hope they find some history on it.

 

I love this '36.

 

Wow, that would be an awesome car to find... very cool.

 

thanx RIK....any more info on where it went and the rest of the OLD story ?

 

Hope the new owner gets it going....

 

This looks like some newer information on the car:

A chance for someone to make a little money too!

Very interesting car and story!

 

Looks like the new owner is equipped. Cool looking old building with partial cars and machinery outside, the inside must be full of better cars and machinery. If anyone knows the new owner, we should send an invite, I'd love to see more info or build thread on this car.

 

The owner had the car at Fall Hershey with a sign asking about its history.

 

Another view.

 

Some body needs to kidnap that dude and force an initiation of HAMB'dom on him. No tea bagging !! Looks like it's a driver at least.

Cool car to have....old custom or not...I would have to get the boards and lights re-configured for me to really dig it. I dunno'....to me it's missing something....besides paint.

 

Wow! Nice find for somebody, tin looks quite crusty , but it is cool regardless.
