bump

 

Dr. Dave sent me some pics….. He sure has a good eye for a Doc.





It rainned that day., all day.



More pics from the Dr. Dave. This is one of my favorite Mercs, He is a fellow Okie from
down south of the state. Can’t remember his name but I think that his last name was
Murphy… Be sure to check out that front bumper. Shhhwing!!







All Ford, Very Kool!



More FMC stuff



Thanks Doc might post some more pics later….

Happy Trails, Mick

 

Interesting car. What's the grille from? Stock Merc center, of course, but not the sides.

havent checked this one for too long...took two sittings to get caught up

 

really not your average Packard tailites ! from that angle they look right at home !

 

Someone posted a rear shot of that shoebox above on my Old Canadian Customs Thread.

 

there was another shoebox with the same taillights, similarly done, i had a pic of it on my old computer, but don't have it anymore, anyone have that pic(black and white)?i must've gotten the picture from the hamb or rikster...

 

Not that it does any good for the purposes of your post, Chris, but this is the car you talking about..I'll find a pic of the back for you...

 

Here it is..found it quicker than i thought i would....I love the unorthadox chop on this thing too...

 

there it is! i like this car alot
thanks bobby!

 

wow my favorite thread. thanks guys.

 

Poor ol girl looks like she was loved by someone back then !

 

that was in kustoms illustrated a while back. funny i said the same thing its a wierd chop but i love it!! whole car is awesome..

 

Thank you very much for the bump.

 

here's another pic at show, different license plate, and looks like it was for sale, maybe this is an earlier picture?

 

Rikster, Anthony, Two Chops et.al. Any pics of a 48-9 Cadillac. I just picked one up and I'm considering doing it with a Carson top and some other mods. Thanks for starting the best thread ever.

 

Yeah, Look through threads I started and look for one titled, "Look at the Nice Kustom"

 

I also reconize Norman Wesp's 55. Olds by the Chrysler tailights. Saw it at an outdoor Illinois carshow. trying to find a good photo .Mine are dated April 1957. Most of the cars you show have Illinois Land of Lincoln plates except for one Iowa.

 

Anymore pics on this car?

 

I spotted a couple of these cars several pages ago. They were posted by Rikster. These were photos taken the same year, different location, judging by the plates on one of the hot rods in the photos. These shots are from early 60s late fifties World of Wheels, Only I'm pretty sure it wasn't called World of Wheels back then. These pictures were in my dad's collection of photos.

 

Those photos are really great... Thanks for sharing them.

 

That Whispering Emerald 47 is a knockout.

Rikter, anymore pictures of that car?

 

Here is one...

The BC Hot Rod Association

 

Lets bring this one up again...

Some photos of a collection I bought some time ago. Mostly 80's stuff.


Sam Barris Merc... long before it was sold to John Mumford.



Rod Powell built Buick



Another Rod Powell built Custom.. this one is now owned by Bruce Meyer, and was reworked by Joe Bailon.







Richard Zocchi's 1941 Ford after it was painted white, but before the flames.



Richard Zocchi's Kool 51 built by Bill Reasoner.


Johnny's Studebaker truck with fresh body mods.



Dutch flags hanging over this very nicely chopped Pontiac wagon

 

Here it is in red... before the grille change etc

 

Cool car but I like the original center grille and would have removed the left and right opening.....but what do I know I'm just an 800 lb Gorilla in the room.
