    Well, more than likely, that's the last thing that guy would be thinking!

    Thank you Pete for your feedback. Is there a website or company you would recommend?  There are a lot of people selling floor pans on the Internet and a wide spectrum of prices. Thanks again Pete.

    That is a nice car. I'm in the process to start my 50 model 50. I glanced at something in "cars" but would be attentative to any answers here.

    Well thank you Pilgrim, thank you very much. :lol: 

     

    Seriously though, let's not forget, Mr Earl didn't do it alone, if it wasn't for Ned Nickles, would we even have the portholes or sweepspears or the 63 Riviera for that matter? I think not. Not to take anything away from my namesake, but Harley's entire design and engineering team back in the late forties  thru the very early sixties i.e. Ned Nickles, Bill Mitchell, Charlie Chayne, Harlow Curtice and others deserve a lot of credit for making  Buick's styling what it was and still is today! 

    Just sayin:) 

     

    I thought Mr. EmTee was the Buickpedia here. Mr. Earl you don't count.. you are an administrator. You must be old and know too much. Oh boy, there is a ton of knowledge on this forum. Hats off to you gentlemen!

    No, but it was powered by an inline 8 cylinder Buick engine. Here's some scoop.

    The 1948 Norman Timbs Emil Deidt Roadster.

    A participant in this special sport customs class, this swoopy, futuristic sled was the vision of Norman Timbs, an engineer who worked on Indy 500 racers. With race-car builder Emil Diedt handling the fabrication of the aluminum body, the streamlined car took three years to complete, including development of the tube-frame chassis. Power is provided by a Buick straight eight and top speed is a reported 120 mph. Soon after it was completed, Timbs sold the car, however, saying that it attracted too much attention. (Uh, yeah.) The car eventually was abandoned to rot in the California desert before being found in 2002; an eight-year, Pebble-quality resto ensued under the watch of Custom Auto of Loveland, Colorado.

     

    I've seen in depth articles about the car.  I'm sure that if you Googled the name of the car's owner and the name of the car, you could find more.
