Here's a circa 1949 photo (& caption) of the roadster care of @Jimmy B: 1949: Albert "Red" Barnes, Albata club, 1929 A Roadster 1937 Ford flathead with Cummings OHV heads. One of the nicest hot rods of the late 1940s. Checkout the engine turned firewall. This had a lot of custom mods like filled & molded cowl custom split boat style windscreen. 10 Stewart Warner gauges in modified 1932 dash. Rear of the roadster the body swage lines running down the side of the trunk were shrunk out and corners rounded. 1937 Studebaker front suspension. In the 1950s, the car was rebuilt by Jim Hinds who removed the Studebaker front-end in favor of a 1936 axle and split 1941 wishbone and spring. Car was on the cover of (& featured in) the March 1957 issue of HOT ROD Magazine.
