[minifoot77]

i was gonna wait and see if some one knew what it was b4 i tell. see how many car nuts we got

 

[Lively]

Interesting - and ambititious! I feel like I should know what it is - but I'm not good with remembering that sorta thing!

 

[Cartel]

About as far back as I know are late 70's! So im going to guess a late 40's Ford? Then again Chevys arnt that much diff looking to me back then....

 

[minifoot77]

any one else have a guess?

 

[Lively]

I'll give it a go... without a front end it makes it harder... how about a 1940(ish) Ford Coupe?

 

[cmcpart0422]

I want to say a 40s chrysler of some sort. It would be alot easier if I could see the front end. But im picturing a very long front end though.

 

[iamzrad]

I'd say a 40s Buick Special coupe?

 

[Spine]

54 Plymouth with a 110-horsepower "Powerflow Six", a 230 cubic inch motor.

114 in. wheel base. Narrowed Chevy 12 bolt rear w/27 in. Morroso ripple wall slicks feuled by nitromethanol gas and it has two unpaid parking tickets in Biose,Idaho.

So I get points for closes guess so far? My primary focus on cars is anything built between 1960-67 with one or two exceptions before or after that. I can recognize some 50's stuff ,just not as familiar with it as I am with the 60's

One thing I did notice is the body looks to be in real good shape . Is that a kit car or did you find one with very little rust.

 

[DonkeyFish]

I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring with a either a Chevy Styleline or Pontiac Chieftan
