Customs Strange and unusual customs

speaking of "customs" (if that's what you could call these) built for B movies, anyone remember THE CAR???

 

This car is on the East Coast, either N.Y. or N.J.. We are trying to get it for the America On Wheels Museum in Allentown Pa. to go on display in Jan.2010. I've seen pictures of it in a garage with alot of other cars, hope it works out, I would love to see it.

 

Wrong era, but I suppose it is customized...

 

Was gonna talk sh!t but... I could see myself scaring some mofo's off the sidewalk with that! And having lots-o-fun doing it.

 

^^^^Yeah, definitely a Halloween car!

 

just saw this bird last week. fortunatly it was covered in plastic

 

From what I've seen in local press etc. this kinda thing happened sometimes down under after the war. Good U.S cars were hard to get so this was the next best thing.

 

Glad to see it's the RARE split window '63. Gee I love Corvettes.

 

I tend to disagree- wait.. No- it's definitely a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette.
See? -the back windows..

 

We have a winner! Ford had show cars, GM had show cars, Chrysler had show cars, why shouldn't Nash-Kelvinator have a show car?
It was to promote the Metropolitan, and named "The AstraGnome".
It hides out at the Metro Museum in L.A.

 

What can I say??

 

This car TRIED to get into the Pileup. It didn't make it. I guess they didn't read the rules. FWIW, we couldn't figure out what it was either.
