Dave Henderson Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 What a shame, if the other side was as good. Wall art is all that was left of my unit-bodied '59 Peugeot 403, which was ready to dismember because of the tin worm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCHinson Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I certainly hate to see a restorable car destroyed so I hope that there was massive right side damage that resulted in that work of art. Despite that, I sort of like it. I looked at the rest of the photos in the craigslist ad and I am intrigued by the front tire tread pattern. I have never seen one of those before.

JACK M Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I would bet it was for photos. With the right background it would look real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 That is a knobbie snow tire mounted on the front wheel. They saw a lot of use on dirt track race cars in the 1920's & 30's.

Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 It's actually 51% (controlling interest?). The crank hole, rad emblem, dash panel,etc are there. I also notice it has a 30-31 headlight and front bumper and the headlight bar has a bracket to bolt to the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
