I think he cobbled up the monstrosity with some of the golf clubs he's selling.

There are only 32 car parts in a car?  I have been figuring restoration costs way too high then.  Shouldn't cost much to restore a car with 32 parts.

Where is Johnny Cash when you really need him?

Well, may not be our piece of cake, but took some planning and work.

There are more things I like about the car than things I don't.Integrating the '39 Chevy grill and the Ford fenders looks great. I like the Seville deck. The fins and the side windows need some rethinking. But it is not bad.

 

You know, they did some stuff like that in the 1930's with cave man tools. I remember a Buick that got all cobbled up.

 

They could have left the fin off that one, too.

More posts need warning or cation labels attached to the title, this one is an excellent example.

Undoubtedly the builder is truly skilled, whether you appreciate his work or not.  The thing I find most curious is after assembling this cacophony of parts into an actual functioning automobile, the builder doesn't seem to possess the simple skills required to post his pictures vertically.

I guess it's a matter of taste. Unfortunately it makes me vomit.

Over in the Chocolate field, Hershey 2010.

 

Show field, same year.

 

Two custom bodied cars, well three.How would the Labourdette get on the show field and not the other two, if of a qualifying age? Just thinking when the 1930's car gets restored no one runs for the blacksmith tools. They rebuild with the model MIG and proper body tools of today. And on the newer builds you don't see lead oozing between fire welded lap joints.

 

I'm for the coachbuilt bodies, old and new, there are some great platforms out there today and I am thinking about something on a Lincoln Mark VIII platform when I get some elbow room in the garage. I can tell you, it is not going to be cold rolled 20 gauge or aluminum sheet nailed to a wooden frame with leather glued in the gaps. How about those supercharger pipes on Topper's rebodied Roadmaster. It just sucked air through the carb. Bowman & Schwartz did that. I wouldn't.

 

Just one of my old cans with two pennies that I like to rattle now and then.

 .........I never realized Rolls built a car like the Labourdette.

I think that car was WAY ahead of its time.

It certainly adds the word SPORTY to Rolls Royce.......

Not so much any more, but when I was younger I dreamed of living at a wrecking yard with unlimited parts.

Oh what I could have built.

I've seen much worse
