knee-action Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 A while back, we had some fun on this forum commenting on a customized 1936 Chevrolet. Consensus was that it was a bit ugly. How about this little number? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Other-coupe-/121633223928?forcerrptr=true&hash=item1c51e7b4f8&item=121633223928 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earl e rizer Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Not done to my tastes, but then again I love Avanti's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I saw that last night. I don't care for the headlight treatment but overall it atleast flows and looks like something someone might have designed on paper back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I saw that last night. I don't care for the headlight treatment but overall it atleast flows and looks like something someone might have designed on paper back in the day.I agree. Redo the headlight treatment and upgrade the instrument panel and apply a top notch paint job and I actually think it would be pretty slick. Uh oh...... not supposed to admit that on this forum ..... I'm supposed to trash it right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 It does remind me of some of the flamboyant coach work on some Delahayes from that period (which I don't think is a bad thing). It certainly is eye catching and took some real skill to fabricate. I do like the shifter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Call Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Looks like a 1950's custom job. Yep, Packard grill. Right about headlight nacelles, they are very clunky from front on view.If it had a flat head engine of any type except the belly button SBC, it could have been Emperor Ming's ride in a Flash Gordon serial.
