    Saw this for sale locally. Any ideas what it was built from?

    The front suspension is definitely Mopar, 38- mid 50s, I believe the horn ring button on the steering wheel is 40 era Dodge. Someone cut up a 40s Dodge to built that "custom". Gene

    Almost looks like some sort of kit car modeled after an Allard or similar type.

    Sorry there was no blurb with the car. Looked over it trying to work it out. Thanks for the comments.

  9. Steering horn button emblem looks more like a Nash, but the suspension sure looks pre/post-war Mopar, so I'm open to the theory that its mostly that.

  11. Horn button, steering column, instruments and steering wheel looks like 1949 Plymouth to me. 1949 Plymouth wheel.jpg
