Art & Inspiration I didn't know Dodges had nice lines

Nope, not drinkin the koolaid sorry. I do have a 1935 plymouth slant back coach, it does have some nice lines, but so do most mid 30’s cars. Those late 40’s and early 50’s mopars must have been durable and practical, but without a ton of work that does not a hotrod make.

 

There was a time that '32 Roadsters and a few others were the only thing considered a hot rod...

 

Bert Gustafsson 1951 Dodge - Custom Car Chronicle

 

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

 

Hard to believe this car started out as a four door! What a beauty!

 

Thanks HJmaniac,,,I hade forgotten that Berts amazing car is a Dodge!!
When Bert came to us with the car ,I only needed a few hours to do the prep work before painting.There are not many surfaces on this car that are not changed,but Bert did a fantastic job,so the need for prep work was minimal.

 

Proof enough, that the older "MOPARS ", are elegant and classy and are worthy of being saved, whether as stock or as a kick ass custom !

 

This is my 1939 Plymouth Coupe that I'm putting a 392 in

 

I also have a 1939 plymouth coupe i put a 383 mopar engine in it, nice job on yours.

 

did t know what was done but i like it

 

Some have better lines than others

(from e-bay)

 

...and some not so nice lines

 

There's a story behind this one -- when the first ones came rolling off the line, someone discovered they'd forgot to put taillights on them. They hurriedly found some old 30s parking lights and slapped them on the sides and saved the day.

 

Sure. Now pull the other one.

 

Or pull my finger.

The '61 was designed with competition for fugleyest car with the Edsel in mind, I guess.....

 

It might not look good if it wasn't in perfect shape, but I'm really liking that design.

 

My 35 Coupe I buried in the back corner years ago. Would take an act of Congress to get it out, but hopefully someday!

 

Does it have 5 artillery wheels on it?

You should filibust 'er out of there.

Picture from the internet:

 

Nope, the ‘ol artillery wheels are long gone and you’re absolutely right…I really should dig that out. It’s day will come but right now, got a couple projects ahead of it.

 

Maybe I don't know what Stodgy means, or maybe it's because my 50 Plymouth is a convertible.

 

That does have nice lines. Front bumper belongs on a Mac truck though.

 

I like 'em... I'd like to find a set of over-riders like those for my '51.

 

Always loved the look of Sonny Daout's '49 Wayfarer roadster, built 60 years ago

 

I saw this car back in the 80's @ a K.K.O.A event... (Holland, Michigan?)... pictures do not do it justice.
