RansomEli Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Ugly but strangely intriguing. Part of me likes it. The two shift levers - is one of them for the 2-speed differential? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I’m kinda speechless on this one.(and not necessarily in a positive way) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Might take some time to cozy up to it but in the end you'd have the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimkf Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 The dash gauges are from a 1949-51 Frazer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearheadengineer Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Buy it for $12k, give it a name, create a fake patina photograph of it at a ‘60s custom show, convince someone to write an article about the history, and double your money. Cover it in dust and take pics inside a dimly lit barn for another $12k. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just hang on to my $12000 until something un-ugly comes along. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesR Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Does anyone recognize any repurposed body panels from other mainstream cars? I'm not sure I can, but the front fenders look kind of similar to a late '50's Dodge. The car actually looks interesting from a couple of angles. I agree with George in that it must've been quite an undertaking. If he fabbed everything, it would be impressive amateur work for the era. Fabbing the grille and those "bumperettes" or whatever you call them would have been a job. I'm glad it wasn't just left outside to rust away.

1957Birdman Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I especially like the "dueling" exhaust pipes. Drive that car around town and you might get pulled over for causing a public nuisance. Lew Bachman 1957 Thunderbird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
