Isn’t evaporation a problem?
Beautiful automobile!!! Couldn’t help but wonder if there’s a rollbar I cant see.
Lucky client! I keep thinking someday...someday...
I suspect a rich kid of the 50s would have opted for red and white tuck n roll interior. But that’s just a guess. Personally I like it just as it...
Big headlights! Back in the day! Who’d a thunk
That is one BEAUTIFUL car!
Sad that that’s in better shape than what I’ve drug home to start with. :(
Glide makes seats and runners for a lot of car manufacturers. Must be pretty good quality.
Short wheel base plus weak shocks was the cause of my 64 Chevy pu problem. Got so bad wife said she wouldn’t ride with me anymore. I’ve never told...
Time to go fishin!
I think it was mostly who could tune up a stock car to run the best. That’s about all a poor teenager could afford. Or if you wanted off the line...

Did he also install the above windshield speaker? That was one of my favorite parts of my 59.
Great lookin hot rod. Why the ‘31 plate on a ‘28-‘29 car? I can’t remember, what year used 18” wheels?
It looks as if there’s air bubbles under the stickers. Doubt if they would last this long that way.
You can write as pretty as those cars. Love it. Thank you for the words and pictures.
I think that would have to sit a loooong time covered for the metal to look so attacked but the wood to survive. Are the rear windows clear vinyl...

Kinda looks like Pontiac chrome on that 55s bumper. Thanks for the photos!
