Customs Old Custom - 1936 Ford Chopped 3w Coupe Packard Grille

Wow very cool. I would like to see what the Packard grill looks like on the car.

 

Killer car, looks like it is in good hands.

 

I'm in love!!

 

I am really drawn to 36 3 windows. this one is tops, the chop is perfect

 

I have searched my files, and so far I have not come up with anything on this car. The Packard grille is very distinctive for this car.
Not so much the grille it self. That has been used quite a lot from the 1940's and up by all the major and not so major Custom Car builders. But the one piece grille surround is very unique. All the photos I could find of '36 Ford using this Packard grille had a regular but modified hood going all the way to the front of the grille.
On this car the front section of the hood was cut off and welded to the custom made front portion of the hood sides, which was welded to the front piece of the front fenders. This creating a short hood top... something I have not been able to find yet!

And I agree with the others. The Packard grille should go back on the car.

 

Agreed!

 

I absolutely love the lines and the flow of this car. PERFECTION

 

Man that's too cool! I'm diggin the hubcaps!!! Packard grill need to go back on for sure!

 

Beautiful!

 

Post a pic of the grill at the same angle as the car so someone can photoshop it back on!

anyone know about the hubcaps?

 

My opinion is that the car should be restored with its Packard grill. It's a gorgeous example of an early custom, and those wheelcovers are out-of-this-world! They should be in a vault somewhere (not really).

 

Scott said he got them from another long time local in the car scene. They had been hanging in his shop for some time. The caps are Stainless Steel, custom spun all the way to the edge of the rim. The center caps are hand made and screw on to the hubs, they are threaded to go into the dust cap threads. The caps are actually held on by the center spinners/dust caps. The level of craftsmanship it took to make these is incredible, to spin the stainless alone would be a feat. Could they be a Duvall made item? There's no documentation at this point, and again it was a hell of a craftsman that built them!

 

Love it!

 

An amazing ride. The chop is first class. Bring to it's former glory and drive the crap
Out of it

 

flat out awesome

 

Thanks for the pictures!

 

wow! keep us posted

 

Thanks, I couldnt figure out what they were and that story makes them even cooler!
This car rules.
heres a quick photoshop...

 

That is a very nice custom,hope to build one...someday. will There be a thread on the build?

 

Now this is how this car should be! It will be a full custom again if the Packard grille is put back on. By the way, what a bitchin' car and killer find!

There are more pics here on this earlier thread;

Fuck yeah Ollin! Nice job.

 

That looks great...the Packard grille must return!!

 

Packard grill is a must and the wheel disks are unreal.

 

if you get the chance, definitely more pictures of the wheel disks please! (frontside and backside if possible)

 

Packard grill looks damn good to me.

 

Wickedly cool

 

Yup that Packard grill needs to be on this car!!

 

The tail light rings may be Pontiac but the buckets/stands are definitely 35/36',. Pretty cool car nonetheless

 

Any updates on this beauty?
