Is this a "known" car?

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I was visiting a photo-blog site that I enjoy and came across the below photo...I HAVE to know more about this car, it speaks to me.

I know it's a shot in the dark, but does anyone have any info on this car?



The caption (from the site) says - Phoenix in 1953. "Photographs show teenagers, mostly male, participating in the Maricopa County, Arizona, programs for teenage delinquent drivers. Includes boys working at Juvenile Farm; teens attending Attitude School; policeman with boys and their hot rods; teens driving on Phoenix streets." Photo by Earl Theisen for the Look magazine assignment "How to Tame Teenage Drivers."

 

Longtime lurker and first post isn't an intro ... tsk-tsk. ... sorry I cant answer your question.

 

Might have a lead. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=812678

 

Somebody zoom in on the front frame in the above pic. It seems it might be the Sefton car in the other thread. Rear ride height is correct. and some roll bar similarities....but that kick is not a normal thing...it may be the key

 

I got a lead for you man. Go introduce yourself.

What it is, is frickin cool.
Check the knobbies.

 

I don't know, but it's bad ass and I want to see more of it.

 

Long time lurker and first time post is an introduction kinda. it is a cool car he is trying to get information about

 

I must have seen 10 FNGs this week with no intro. What's going on here?

great picture..bad ass car

 

Long time loika, foist time postah!

I don't know but it said its from phoenix 1953, maybe check in at the history of Phoenix thread..

 

Are you picking on my Boston accent???

 

I wonder if I did an intro when I first signed on???...
Don't remember!..

 

Cool car. I would like to see more as well.

 

Nevah!

 

I think I'd rather see the guy post without an intro than see the people that have been here a while be an ass for no reason.

 

I did and it had zero welcoming replies.

 

You would have ten pages of welcome if you were a girl....

 

Bravo!

 

I've never done an intro and I have been posting here for 7 years. I'm not using my right name either. When did you hoodlums go all Emily Post?

 

Not so sure it was a street car. I don't see headlights and either no radiator or a really narrow one.

 

Go do an intro, whoever you are...

 

It's out of respect for Ryan who asks everyone to do an Intro

 

I did my intro on my 10,000th post. so many people here think it was so important I felt I should not do it until I knew what the site was all about. I wanted to be sure i was going to hang around for a while.

 

Even more reason to think it is the same car in the other thread?:

 

^^ cool . I bet that is the same car, just based on the short doors and the wierdness below them

 

agreed! look at the size of the tires he crammed on those skinny rims!

 

Troof

 

Need some more opinions on those very unusual front frame horns; you can barely see them in the first pic on page one, right at the cop and drivers knee-level.
