Art & Inspiration You gotta see this! Estate Sale Purchase

GV, make a cube (no, not "tube") frame, get a piece of glass cut and make a coffee table with "car under glass". Hey, if Mrs. GV likes it, stick it in the living room!

X2 on pulling a mold off it, I know where you'll sell at least one...

 

Looks almost like a design studio proposal;most of those were done in 3/8ths scale and that looks about the size.Definitely mid-50's Chrysler influence.Great find!

 

I think I'd sell it to ME!

 

That is just way to cool! I would love to have that!!

 

Nice purchase!

 

Fix it up the way you want so it looks nice, no need to go crazy, but the imperfections detract from the cool factor.

 

Thats a really cool find! I think i would leave it as is and put it on the shelf in my garage.

 

Apparently I'm the only one who can't see any pictures?

 

I've had a couple of them before. Such a cool look.

 

I was stoked when I found this today...but you win.

 

........Finish it.......Red with white top

 

Do you have any idea what they were for?

 

Very cool!

 

Want to sell it?

 

paint it!

 

I'm sticking with store display piece.

 

That is very kool ... makes a nice addition where ever you put it My office is a good place to put it, lol. Merry Christmas to you!

 

i agree ,it might be a early clay model from plymouth.dont tough it until you find out if it is a orig plymouth clay model probably for the plymouth fury.it may be worth some bucks,you should definately research it.maybe with chrysler historical or a mopar site.

 

That needs to be in my garage. Very nice piece.Paint it and keep it.

 

Yea, not a clay model, If you read the oiginal post it came from the prop room years ago of a Marshall Fields Dept Store.

 

I wonder if Marshall Fields had a shop devoted to building props? I would follow that route for research. Very neat George.

 

A stylized CHRISTINE ? Sure would make a neat paint scheme

 

Nice piece!

 

Put it in the Photoshop thread and let them work their magic....

 

id buy one

 

I'll chime in with ''paint it nicely, 'chrome' the bumpers and put it up'' also. After you make a few more. I think that's about the coolest garage/den decor piece I've seen in quite awhile. Oh, I'd research it thru marshall fields and Chrysler Historical too if I had it. Which, if you give it to me, I promise to do!

 

There is a guy who comes to Donut Derelicts on Saturday mornings in Huntington Beach, CA. who brings these bigger-than-life figureens (to sell them) from long out of business companies. He currently is bringing a large fibreglas bear (I think) from a 1950s Los Angeles oil company.

 

It would make a killer pool table light cover.
