Here's one I've not seen before. Popped up on the Studebaker Addicts International page on Facebook, yesterday. This is a new build.

So far, I'm intrigued!

 

I like it... I think....ya ..what the Hell it's different ...like a Studebaker isn't different to start with.....

I love the caption on this one. "who snuck in with that shoebox Ford?" lol.
I see 6, maybe 7 shoeboxes in that photo.

 

I might have found a green version.

 

@rudestude keep it up buddy! Some good stuff!

One of my favorites, I'd like to know what happened to this one....

 

Here's some shots from Rod&Custom October 1953 article titled " Kross Kountry in a Kustom " when Bob Hirohata drove his famed Merc from Los Angeles to Indy and back... it's a good story...

Merc above looks so much cleaner without the triple cap lake pipes, funky hubcaps and stuff written on the quarter panel. I really like the reworked version. Not that it was bad before, I guess I just prefer it slightly less "accessorized".

 

In recent years, the term "Pancaked Hood" has come to be used for one that has been V-sectioned for a slimmer profile.
But originally, the term defined a hood whose dimensions had been "two-dimensional-ized" by re-defining the perimeter, and was loosely applied to any hood that had been made smaller.
This Ford is a perfect example.



Harry Bradley's "La Jolla" is another fine example of a "Pancaked Hood".

 

I have noticed that lots of people say pancaked when they really mean sectioned hood.
