History The Don Brady '36

It's cool! Those widely spaced relatively short scallops are reminiscent of the Granville brothers' 1932 Gee Bee sport plane.

 

Nothing to do with the scallops, but could that be the coupe that was later given a hot rod rake, red paint, VonDutch striping, and still is seen occasionally?

 

Yeah first thought was socal but quickly followed up with a plane reference as well.


Cool car

 

Yep, you’re right. Never mind.

 

I'm guessing those headlights are 40 Chevy, that was a common custom touch.

 

I remember the car from the little books. I love the wing tip bumpers, skirts, spots, mild chop, molded rear fenders, and more! Just a super 36!

 

Great car, I like everything about it !

 

that actual car is sitting in a shed in sunol canyon,bay area

 

This car was built about the same time frame, I think. What's special is that I got custody in 1984!
The owner built the car, including the chop and leaded in trunk. He chose 40 Chevrolet headlights as well and the scallops look alot like the car Ryan featured. I wonder if the design on this car was influenced by that same car in Hop Up?
Interesting.
