    I brought this home about a year ago (thank to JasonCarGuy.) Jason said he thought it came from Maize, Kansas which is near Wichita. 34 side.jpeg OldHotRodB800.JPG ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1426110796.433442.jpg I know it is a long shot but maybe someone recognizes it from back in the day. It was red and also maroon. The deck lid is leaded in. The windshield post area was plated off at an angle on both sides. The body was shortened about 6" behind the doors. Any leads appreciated.

    from kansas

    It might be worth contacting Darrell Starbird in Oklahoma. He was the king of the car scene in the 50's-60's in the Wichita area.
