Canted quads!!!!!?????????

I find myself pouring over little pages everyday and it amazes me how many cars had canted quads.

so this naturally got me to wondering what in the hell happened to all those kustoms???

does anyone know of any survivors with the canted quads still intact or know of any old fenders or front clips laying around with canted quads?

ah hell for that matter just post any pics you guys have of anything canted quad related!!!

Thanks!!!

Hells yes!

 

This car was built in the early 50's...Theres a story on my site

 

Quad lights....



I spotted it last year during the Turkey Run. Someone here on the HAMB stated that the car had a lot of history...never heard any else about it.

 

They're still being built today..........

 

WoW!! My dream thread!! I am a canted quad freak...here are some I have saved...these are all 50s-60s built cars with the exception of Bob Nitti's Merc Candy red with gold scallops), it was done in the 80's and was a huge inspiration towards my path to kustom cars..

 

Yes they are...Here are my two latest cars, I did the quads in the Merc in 2003, and my Ford got them this past summer...Both of the '58 Lincoln variety, my all-time favorite quad set up...

 

rule!

 

Canted quads are awesome. I feel there should be a link to the 53-56 f100 w/ chrysler grille thread. Those are canted and awesome too.

I love the gold 58 impala chopmerc posted!!!!!!!

 

Few more...Some older builds and some newer...

 

From the factory

 

Isn't it funny that when you take a look back at how the Custom World actually was....there is little similarity to all the primered, severely chopped, bagged Cartoons that are considered "traditional" by todays standards? I love canted quads....but then, I always have. Think about it. Centurion9

 

hey HOTDAMN...thanks for the question, and i agree with GOT GAS man that 55 was the very best! and thank you h.a.m.b. brothers for all the fine pics...POP.

 

seriously, you guys have made my day!

keep em coming!!!

by the way moriarity, I have lost sleep over your car in the past...

Thanks chopmerc for all the great pics!

I got to figure out how to shoe horn a set of 58 lincolns into the front end of my 53 chevy and make the grill work.

 

Agreed! Here's my pal Bill's 54, for sale currently...

 

Does this count?

 

Wow, what car are those headlights taken from Scotty? Nice custom!

 

Just a few more for good measure...

 

The finest use of canted quads, IMO,

BEHOLD... THE MOUNTAIN PEARL!!

These style lights only look right on certian vehicles IMHO. some just look out of place

 

A couple I have saved.....

hey moparforlife did you take the pic of the 39 ford truck?

That has to be saved!

 

Nope, sorry. I think I found it somewhere here on the HAMB. Pretty radical though.
