Chad from Green Goblin Kustoms here in NS and I were talking about the bubble top he just built (even blew his own bubble) , and he asked if I knew of any other bubble top show rod built in this country....I couldnt think of any can any of you guys think of any?? Heres a couple of pics of his from last weekend ...June 1st it was a roughed in body ,bare frame and the bubble he had blown...hes a madman !
That car came out of Calgary Alberta in the early 60's. By the late 70's it was nothing but a bare shell, even the bubble was gone. I had a chance to buy the remains for $100 around 1980 but I was still a teenager living at home and had no place to store it. It got crushed.
Yes, it started life as a bullet-nose Stude. And I remember being told it was Ford flathead powered during its show days.
it was probably you who told me about it! CRS victim here Not to take away from the OP... anyone who has an idea and sees it through deserves credit in my book.
Nope. I found it out at ACME Alberta a number of years ago. I have a spy in the field trying to locate it as we speak.
Whale oil beef hooked!!!!! I was told that it had been crushed not long after I passed on it in the early 80's. If it's still out there I hope someone saves it. Hell, I'd like a crack at it again myself.
Acme is so small it could be searched in a couple hours if it's in town On a nearby farm would be more of a challenge.
He didnt have time to install the "fake" copper fuel lines, but it was amazing how many people it fooled ! The grille is one side of a 1960 Monarch there was a grille in the middle as well they were a really wide car !
I know someone that has some family property out by Acme - I'll ask if they know anything about it. Steve
It's actually a 1961 Meteor headlight assy turned sideways. Monarchs were Mercury bodied Meteors used Ford bodies. Pics for comparison
