BIG THANX for that link! Hadn't seen this one before. That ain't back porch pickin'. That there is some serious FRONT Porch pickin'!!!

 

Here's what I was looking for. Finally found where I had posted links to it here on the HAMB. I know, I should have done a site search here first!



The car is apparently somewhere in the Elko, Nevada area. At least it was in 2007.

Thanks so much ClayMart. Using your info. I've tracked it as far as The Morroders Car Club in Elco, Nevada and it's owners in 2007. I've left an e-mail @ the club's website requesting more info. & pics. I just knew the HAMB could find this car. What could be more interesting than a car like this which you see in the background of pics before and after Danny became famous?

playin' hookie, Thanks so much for that link about Danny before he was well known. You can see the 56' in the background of some of those shots too.

If you hear from the current owners ask them if they're familiar with the HAMB. I'd sure like to see some more detailed shots of the "finished/unfinished" car.

Keep us posted if you find out anything more.

 

I know someone who might be able to help you find the car.

His name is Ray Soff he is known as the East Coast Rod & Custom Historian and he writes some stories for Kustoms Illustrated from time to time.

This guy knows more about the history of old custom cars then anyone I have ever talk to.

His address is 84 Alberta Drive in Saddle Brook, N.J. 07663

Home phone is 201-796-8948 just leave a message explaining a little about the car and Ray will contact you.

This guy knows where almost every car is and he will tell who owns and how different colors it has been over the years.

Real nice to talk with. Please tell him Jim Hill said to call.

Best of luck. Jimbo

 

Will do Jimbo.
Thanks so much,
Chuck

 

Should be reporting back with info & pics soon.

Great news that your "digging-in" seems to have paid off. Glad to hear that the current owners are willing to share their involvement in the history of Danny's Crown Vic. It would be a shame if this car got lost in the shuffle.

Anxious to see what pictures and other info you've uncovered here. Thanks for your efforts and research!

 

Haven't given up yet. Been talking to Ray Soff and he's working on this.

Glad to hear that you're still knee-deep into your research on this. Even if it isn't big news leave us a little update from time to time to keep us alerted.

 

Any updates?

So this just popped up on my Facebook feed.


Apparently this car is now out in Spring Creek, NV and is being offered for sale with several other mid-late 50s Fords by a Pam Martin. Anybody know anything about her or how/why the cars are being offered for sale?

 

Thanks for the update on Danny's Ford. That car's been thru a number of owners over the years so I'm glad to know it's still intact and on the radar somewhere.

And now, for a musical interlude . . .

 

Here's a video I hadn't seen before. It's some of the raw footage that was being shot by a local news crew in 1993 for a profile of Danny Gatton. It's not all music business talk. You also get a tour thru Danny's garage and shop as well a look at some of his old cars and other projects. Just like hanging around the shop with one of your buddies.
