And they say an Edsel had a different nose to it

Looks like it's in nice condition. I've always liked these. They're in that category of pedestrian inexpensive cars that I was unaware of until I'd seen them used for racing (e.g., Willys coupes, Ford Anglias and Mini Coopers) so I actually prefer them as race cars over stock vehicles, though I'd never modify a stock example (especially one that's this nice.)

Looks like a riff on 1949-50 Ford styling.

The last one of these that I worked on had a 4 cylinder flathead.

Maybe I am confusing it with something else as I think this body may have been used on more than one brand.

Henry Js and Allstates had the same bodies and both came in 4 & 6 cylinder models. The Allstate car was sold by Sears and was basically a Henry J with a few minor differences.

Not an entirely correct car but since it presents well, who'd know at your local show?

I like the body style and the size, but I think the front bumper could use a trim, it sticks way out from the sides.
