Technical 33 Ford Survivor found in Nevada, any history

This one followed a friend home. It is supposed to be built in 1958 or 59.

The new owner will remove that awful flip-flop paint and the wheels of course.

It may have been black, and dragged at some point.

Olds with Cad LaSalle trans.

Any clues?

Can't remember seeing it in any magazines that I can recall. With a paint job, proper wheels and tires and a proper grill that one could be sharp.

I'd pretty well bet that at one time it had cycle fenders on the front tires as most rods built back then in most states had to run some sort of fender.

 

under that that awful paint and 80's wheels there looks to be one sweet coupe under there. best of luck

 

if it had a stock grill, i really would like this one.

 

2 glove box doors are different.

 

What a bad ass car to redo!! It got a ways off track, but can come back, bad and beautiful. Sic'em bro!! Super great score!! ~Sololobo~

 

Anyone?

 

car just like it was sold out of canada couple years back looks the same other then wheels the one from canada had halibrands on it. story was driven up from cali.years ago and parked in basement . not 100% sure but it looks the same

 

Great, that is a lead. Where did you hear or see that?

 

Rolf. I was in love with a similar coupe back in '70. We went to a used car lot in Moira N.Y to get a replacement for my wrecked '64 Impala hardtop. I know I couldn't swing the coupe but it sure was neat. Deep Channel, mild or no chop. Pontiac mill with 3 deuces and 4 speed. Chrome reverse wheels on all 4. Color was a deep burgundy with black interior. Also had the Deuce grille. Oh, I left with '65 Dart Coupe with six and three speed . . . .

 

You didn't know what kind of cult car you drove home with

Thanks for the info, I will ask the owner to look for a burgundy coat of paint when he repaints it.

We may never know the full story, but I know the owner will do it justice.

 

Rolf, Hope you get more feedback on this car. I may have not owned or driven the car I saw but it sure fits in my memories.

 

Love the car, nothing a semi-custom 3W Ford coupe. That grille is a 33-34 Chevrolet.
The dual glove box doors was a feature of the 36 Hudson Terraplane so that's nothing new.
The style reminds me of East Coast/Midwest USA cars.

 

great find, Rolf. Hope you get some info on the coupe's origins. That paint has got to go!

 

Whats the story on the 60 in the shop??

 

That poor thing must have a bad case of hives from that gawd-aweful refractive paint!

 

It was the previous owners car, not for sale. Love them Birds though...

 

I was lookin at the Chevy

 

I dont see a chevy in any of the pics, looks like a falcon and a thunderbird in the garage

 

Huh?? On the left? that is a 60 Chev

 

There is a t-bird emblem on the trunk lid, look closer

 

I see it, the smell camino. Lippy

Yep it's there.

 

I was lookin at the wrong leftMy Apologies to The Dude, for real.

 

Chevy? I thought we were lookin' at survivor '33 Ford...

 

Same thing, they just belonged to the former owner of the 33.
