Not just "Bantam-based" -
American Bantam actually offered
a 1/4 ton "sedan-delivery" or "panel
truck" body like that as a production
item. Here's a couple of pics showing
some 1/4 ton Bantam "panels" -
the first from a 1937 A-B factory
catalog and the second pic of a
restored 1939 model.

Okay its not Pam! There are a few things that look simular? They make me smile like Jim was with Pam!

 

Thinking about those Bantam panels
gave me a really "sick" idea for a rod.
Maybe not strictly "traditional" but
what'da'ya' think? How about a
full-fendered, near-stock bodied
Bantam panel body, channeled over
a custom steel tube frame, with some
sort of late-model-style front-drive
transaxle mounted in the rear bed
area behind the seats and hooked
to a transverse-mounted turbo'd
& EFI 2.3 Pinto engine, set at about
400 hp! Tiny, super-light weight,
with a ton of horsepower, 'traditional'
'mid-30's-style body styling, go
kart-like handling and beucoup
traction! Woo Hoo!!!

Yes, sir! They were the motor of choice up until the Hondas and other bikes came along in the late 60s.

When I was flagging with UMRA in the early 60s, I think they were nearly all Crosleys. The only motor giving them a real run for it at the time was a Koenig, in Ronnie Ambrose's mount.

 

You mean there is more than one??

 

Blue was popular that year!
