Shoeboxes whos got em? Lets see em..

Not mine but I love this car.This guy lives near me and I see this car at every show.

 

Here's a couple photos on mine, the Heifer I'm working on, Suzy Q I bought a couple of months ago and drove her from Reno, NV.

P.S. Sorry I didn't get to hook up with you RenoRat when I was there to pick up the car, I landed at at the airport around 3pm and drove out of Reno the next morning at around 5am.

Cool to see all the coupes out there, I'm just a little bit partial....

Seems like a shoebox pic thread comes up about every 6 months or so... gonna post a different pic for a change.

 

Gawd is this coupe sweet. More pics please.

 

You do realize you just backed up my arguement don't you?

Pat, thanks for the history lesson. But that was a magazine written 50 years ago, while I'm talking about what the name means today. I went out and asked people now, and ...... awwww screw it. I give =)

 

hahahahahaha!! i was gonna post a pic of my VANS shoebox...

this ones almost done.. wanna buy it?!?!!!

 

So post a picture of a shoebox Chevy then.

 

Yes. That was directed towards the 4dr Chevy.

 

I did more work searching for this thread than actually posting another pic. But this way, you can check out a whole 'nother crop of shoeboxes. Enjoy.

Also has an old (1927?) Ford? Builds cars with his dad?
That would be the guy. Nice guy. Dad was cool. That sedan's sheetmetal was awesome. I found another car in San Marcos at a price that was too good to pass up though.
