That has to be the easiest top chop I've ever seen, hope you have a good upholstery shop nearby. Good luck with the rewooding of the body. Hope someone puts your spair parts to good use. You may want to use a flash on future photos, the ones on your website are a bit dark. Please put a big nailhead in it, matching power plants with bodies makes for a better finished product.

Makes me thing about breaking my #1 rule.......never buy a car you don't like the looks of. Wonder if that Amphicar is still sticking out of that shed in Vermont?

Terry, Thanks for the link, I'm sure there are new hobbiests that never knew this great man and his collection existed. Steve, you are truely one of the lucky ones to see the collection and especially lucky to own a "Pollard Car". I think it is great that the family still has that collection, does wonders for your imagination wondering what it still there!

Welcome to the Forum. The collection you mentioned was owned by Barney Pollard, he was able to save hunderes of cars from the WWII scrap drives by hanging them on end to save storage space. D. Cameron Peck was another early collector in the midwest that stored all his cars in a conventional manner.

Doug, Are all 427 Vetts future 1/4 Million Gold mines? If so I'll start looking for the one in town that the second owner took the tail off of using a 150 year old oak tree. Crafty guy he made a rack body on the back, contoured the stakes to follow the Vette fender line. On second thought this could bring a half Million with the one of a kind body.

Took a while to realize that Rotary was a brand name, not a lift feature. Thanks for the link.

Just how many of your dear friends in Hemi Cudas want to "tour" with PreWar cars and their owners? No, the post war cars have taken over this hobby and with every passing year a new wave of 25 year old vehicles will chase away more PreWar cars. Reality is tough to admit to sometimes, but let's not be foolish, you guys won.

All the more reason to walk a bit faster past the Post WWII cars, I'll always be with the guys and cars that started this hobby. From 20 feet how do you tell a $20,000 Cuca from a $2 Million Cuda? Sure not worth walking 20 feet to find out.

I wonder how much wider the split will be between the PreWarCars and the mass produced PostWar cars after Barrett - Jackson? Not that I care, I'm happy with want I've got.

What fun! It is 60 degrees here in Connecticut, I'm stripping parts of a 1950 Chevy FLEETLINE and making Fantacy bids at over a 1/4 Million dollars at Barrett-Jackson! Might as well go for a $101 Million Power Ball ticket as well. Life is Good!

I'm with you 100% on that statement. Give me a rolling Model A Ford chassis, a half dozen catalogs and an unlimited checking account and I'll have an AACA National First Prize winning Model A Ford Deluxe Roadster on the field for Hershey 2006. My original point was that the few cars I did see on B-J had AACA ovals but no mention was made by the commentators. This is FREE advertizing for AACA and steps should be made to milk the coverage for what it is worth.

Sorry Dale, wouldn't recognize one if it hit me.

I've been watching The Barrett - Jackson Auction all week and will continue today and tomorrow and STILL haven't seen a car that tripped my wire. How about you? Forget what the car is worth, selling for or could sell for in the future. If you could pick ONE car off that lot what would it be? I hope something turns up to break the boredom.

If a Corvette that won a "Duntov" can use that award to boost its auction pedigree why aren't the AACA awards being showcased?

That photo has to win an award for the WORST car for sale photo I've ever seen! If you can afford a Duesenberg surely you could afford to hire a kid in a high school camera club to shoot it. By the way in 40+ years in the hobby I've never seen a photo of this "Most Photographed" J.

greenie, The following personal opinion will ruffel feathers so here goes. AACA is not the center of the "Old Car Hobby" in spite of some people want to think. The we're right everything less that a 400 point restoration is wrong does not sit with everyone. AACA is part of the hobby. Maybe a banner like the "Discount Tire" ones at Barrett Jackson next year might get some air time. I think that works for NASCAR, but what do I know?

Did the last Hagerty Fantasy Bid car go on while the auction was on air, if so what was the winning bid? This was the tangerine colored 1936 Ford custom with the Packard grill. Best looking car of the evening IMO.

That is a Model A Ford distributor, anything you get over $10.00 is cause for cartwheels on the front lawn.

Matt, We're all watching the Barrett-Jackson Auction this week on the SPEED Channel because we are in the car hobby already. Chances of someone outside the hobby watching are about the same as me stopping to watch a basketball or hocky game. Price jacking will be done by car guys not Joe Adverage. I'm still not motivated to call about an Amphacar I saw in a shed in Vermont. Brock & Allen are not missed by me.

Just think what images come to mind when you read these numbers. 1932,1903,1909,392,327,289,97,554,6-71,3,14,999,1912,1929,1941,1945,911

You Chevy guys really don't need a Ford guy to confirm what you already know do you? Steeling styling from Chrysler is understandable, but the idea should have been to make it BETTER looking. If that old saying is true about how GM goes so goes the nation we're in DEEP DoDo.

Was this car featured in an earlier post or was that on another website? I remebler it was a town car or limousine, the original wheels were long ago lost and it had some odd 15-16 inch wheels as rollers. Car deserved a good restoration.

West, The late Franklin Tucker was the most knowledgeable Holsman guy I knew. I think he left his literature collection to the AACA Library, he had about every piece of literature there was on the company.

Nice item! I've seen a few of the cans but until now never knew there was a bracket like yours.

Steve is the Chummy the same as a Cloverleaf body? The Cloverleaf was a three seater, when viewed from above the interior had the shape of a 3 leaf clover.
