joe_padavano Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Front fenders and headlights appear to be from a 1952 Ford F1 pickup. Custom "pancake" hood. Grille appears to be adapted from something later. No idea on the rest of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass is Best Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 The fast and easy answer would be to say "its an automobile". Grill looks like 1955 or 1956 Ford. Wheels look 1930's. hubcaps appear to be 1950's Oldsmobile. Bumper looks like a 1946-48 Chrysler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Rear quarters look like early 50's Buick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Perhaps a styling exercise from a country who don't mind stealing ideas from The West? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACK M Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Maybe a 46 - 48 Chrysler front bumper. I don't have a pic with the guards but they came with three as this car has. You can see in this pic where they were. Edited March 28, 2017 by JACK M (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capngrog Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 George, Do you have any other photos? The car in question doesn't look too bad from the angle of the photo that you posted to start this thread. Cheers, Grog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without it's distinctive two foot tall center mounted tailfin, it is difficult to positively identify this land shark as the Heinz 57 Fordolet Roadster. Ford up front, Chevy in back and for that added touch of class, genuine Cadillac doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
