Built for Lloyd Templeton, The Templeton Saturn A.K.A. as The Bob Hope Special Roadster. Powered by a '48, 239.4 Cubic Inch Flathead V8 with two 2 barrel Stromberg 94 Carburetors, Speedway Heads, and a manual transmission. While in Hollywood, California to appear in a movie, it was driven regularly by Bob Hope, hence it's name. People didn't know what the vehicle was and referred to it simply as The Bob Hope Special Roadster. The body is a mixture of curves and flat surfaces for a very unique ride. It has a Chrysler hood lengthened, Mercury windshield, rear fenders were formed from '46 Chevy fenders, and the rear deck lid came from a Hudson hood. The grille is a cut down from a '48 Dodge and bumpers from a '46 Pontiac. The interior is styled after the cockpit of a plane with multiple gauges most being period Stewart Warner with white-on-black faces along with various knobs and switches. Why was it named the Templeton Saturn? Simply because it was named after Lloyd "Templeton", and Lloyd felt it would "run circles" around any cars of it's time, therefore the name "Saturn." The vehicle has received multiple awards and accolades from coast to coast, from the Pan Pacific Auditorium in California, to the 1952 Speedarama Show in Minneapolis and down to a Silver Spring Gardens event in Florida. The same year the Saturn was displayed for 10 days as the Car of Tomorrow in a tent across the street from the Iowa State Fairgrounds. It appeared on the fairway by invitation at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance. It also received an extensive 12 page article in Motor Trend Classic Winter 2012 Edition along with appearing in Bill Jepsen's book Iowa Customs. A true Collectible and a piece of American Automobile History!

Maybe doing some serious penance and added time in purgatory will help.

These are stock '50 Ford "dog dish" caps.

I hope that the kid got off his bicycle and ran before this evil Plymouth got him.

Never really a fan of this era Hudson, but, this one in black, is rather attractive. In my opinion, brighter colored and two toned step-downs remind me of what were popular paint choices for classics in the '80's.

Nice coupe but the engine compartment is a real let-down. A weekend scrub down and paint might help justify the asking price but that's still a lot of money.

Such a deal. There's at least $1,000. worth of patina there, and probably much more underneath and inside. Even Jay Leno likes patina, rust and restorods: https://www.icon4x4.com/derelict/pastprojects/1

Notice, too, what appear to be rubber or vinyl floor coverings, not unusual for a mid range car in the '50's.

A gift for your significant other, or wear them yourself...depending.

I guess the good news is that you don't have to clean out any rodent nests...they probably starved to death years ago.

Maybe Laurel and Hardy and Abbot and Costello?

Due to the constant precipitation in Western Washington (Seattle), patina actually grows on things... ...and sometimes gets out of control:

...and a number of ratty sedans. Just search CL ads nationwide.

They are typically expensive to maintain and not the easiest car to sell. Time on the market usually exceeds a GM car of comparable value.

It's a shabby beater, folks. I'd avoid it. Decent sedans can be found in the $10 to $15k range that don't need paint and interiors.

Yes, this is the correct factory interior pattern.

It's probably the continental kit and the non-original interior that's affecting the sales price. That will do it every time!😁😁

This car was posted last Sunday----

Should be against the law to restore this T, maybe even to wash it. Leave it as-is!

Find a rural property in the woods. Like grandpa used to say, "If you can' take a l**k in your own front yard, then you're living too close to town".

To each his own, but I really don't like them, except this one: and this one, but probably a little less

I'm not a big fan of "hump back" sedans of this era, regardless of make. That might be a reason for the sparse photos.
