Tubs, tourings and phaetons have always been a rarity, especially in the realms of competition. Digging through photos from the era, a fine example may surface as a stocker, show rod, surfboard hauler or sanitary street machine. There?s no question... <BR><BR>To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here.
No info on your car but talking about hen's teeth Tubs, there's a Flathead V8 powered T "Bathtub" on the cover of March 1950 HRM. I don't have my copy here, but it has a club plaque and probably ran at the lakes.
Here's a video of his AA/FA from '81 : http://www.frequency.com/video/rod-hynes-aafa-at-ocir-4-25-1981/109304621/-/5-20634
I love tubs! Drag tubs, show tubs, wash tubs, bath tubs, street tubs, Rallo Tubbs, all tubs! I definitely like the 2 from the pictures. That yellow one looks great. Since it's a tub I think it makes the proportions look really good. Love that paint job too! Since we are speaking of tubs....I'm in the market for a pre 1932 touring or phaeton body if anybody has something laying around.
Funny you mention that.....going to finish the interior this winter (door panels/kick panels) and checked my stock of them which is low. So yah, i will in a month or so.
