    I was thinking that the driver sits low enough that there might not really be a blind spot.

    Hey V,

    Great idea about blind spots. Most cars have blind spots, some have them more so than others. The Moose drawn Studebaker is pretty stylish in design and function.

    Sometimes, blind spots make owners sell the hot rod just because they can't see out of the tiny outside of the rear view mirror.

    upload_2021-5-16_17-16-31.png Our 327 SBC 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery was the biggest blind spot on the right real quarter panel area. My wife started to dislike the feeling it created. So, rather than get in a big huff, we decided to look for a different 40 Ford Sedan with windows all around. Then, life happened.

    But, recently, I drew an inspiration from Dave Bell and a Ford Thunderbird with its nice design, but a huge blind spot. Using a converted custom Barracuda roof and rear window, it made a different looking T-Bird. No blind spots with a nice greenhouse.

    "While the T-bird hardtop is nice, it did create a super blind spot for the driver. So, here is a custom version with the addition of a Plymouth Barracuda Fastback hard top added on to the 62 T-bird bottom. No blind spots for this full custom car."
