Xander Wildeisen Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) I just walked through the Portland roadster show. Took a bunch of pictures, will post them if there is interest. Quite a few restored cars were there. Here are pictures of a 1941 Chevrolet, it has exterior running boards/steps on it that I have never seen before. Are these original to the car, or are these a after market accessory? Edited March 18, 2023 by Xander Wildeisen (see edit history) 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 I am not a fan of Mercury’s in these years, but this is a pretty cool looking wagon. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a rather rare beast. Only 568 2-door Voyagers were built in '58. Thanks for the pictures.

Gunsmoke Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I enjoyed seeing these, while "modified", not at all in an annoying way. Quality seems exceptional, lots on moey in most of these. The Mercury wagon especially rare, never knew they delivered a hardtop version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 There was a mix of type and style of builds there. Restorations, mild customs and radical customs. There was a truck in the show that I did the chop and stretch on. Made motor mounts out of Ford wish bone suspension arms. I had never seen the finished product. Owner of it won his class at SEMA with it. My favorite was a custom 41 Cadillac convertible. Beautiful car, will show the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander, I believe this 41 Chev belonged to the recently deceased Ron Wade. His collection now belongs to the WAAAM Museum of Hood Rv. Oregon. This car is said to have every original accessory offered on 1941 Chevrolet cars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
