Odd Rods

Ive always liked the odd ones, here are a few different strokes

37 DeSoto
350 TPI Volvo
36 Pontiac
40 Dodge
41 Dodge
41 Merc
48 Olds

 

49 Buick
49 Stude

 

How the hell is he gonna roll down the side windows with the roof like that??

 

My nine year old son Josh just got given a fully restored 36 Nash 4 door by my ex-father-in-law.

Will pick it up Thursday night.

Not sure what the plans are yet, other than slammed on the ground.

Eight years before he gets a license, so plenty of time. New P plate rules here may restrict him to a six for the first three years.......does A twin turbo Nissan powered Nash count as "odd"

 

sorry, that's a 50 buick.____dan

 

The placard said 49, figured the owner knew what year he had. All of that era Buicks look nice done up.

 

It's a truck...Find a late model Powerstroke or Duramax turbodiesel to put in it. Hop it up some with basic diesel bolt on mods, and enjoy 800 FT/LB of torque and 25 MPG

 

my friends vespa g***er

 

I love this post. I was swent a pic of a odd rod from mexico. I didn't know what is was until this thread. Now I know its a De soto

 

you're right, almost all buicks can be made to look good. that's still a 50 buick._dan

 

Speaking of cool Buicks - why hasn't anyone used a '53 Roadmaster parts car to replicate this?

 

Ain't seen too many Studies on this thread...so, to rectify that...

For the owner of the 47 Diamond-T above. Here's my 47 Diamond-T Pick-Up. It was a 1 1/2 ton Tow Truck at one time but kept the body only and use a donor 78 C-10 Chevy Ch***i. Would not chopp the roof for the view now is limited. The link below will give you an idea as to how it was all done.

Mine is a 1947 Frazer cut in half to make a RPU...455 olds power TH 400 Mustang II and Camaro rear

 

Put a picture up of that bad boy 47 frazer, I and I'm sure there are others would love to see a pix of it.

I once owned a 48 frazer, but at the time I felt that such a piece of americana automobilia should be saved, I was, at the time, a dyed in the wool ANTIQUE Hobbyist but soon learned that rodding was a lot more enjoyable.

 

I too would like to see the Frazer truck.


Here's what I hope mine looks like once I'm done. Probably gonna take me waaaay too long to get it like this though.

 

StudeDude
Thats a wild looking stude, I always say " why be normal"

 

Fraz I like that. Its gonna be nice

 

hell yeah...nice to see i'm not the only one crazy enough to play with these things. little confused about the year still...found a pic of a '41 model 406 and looked exactly like mine, but your '47 looks a helluva lot like it too. wish the cowl tag hadn't been ripped off. the engine tag is still there, just not where i can read the numbers to find out for sure. thanks for the link!

 

Heres a Pic taken awhile back of my 27 Dodge modified project

 

here's my international pickup..not too common...

 

Houston,,,,we have a problem.

 

that Hudson is super clean, hope mine will look like that one day

 

LOVE THAT HUDSON, It is a inspritional piece of work, makes me want to put everything else on hold and "GET ER DONE" (cable guy quote)

 

Thanks. as for a bed I am still up in the air to built a stepside box with eather F100 fender cut down to scale or go with a Willy`s truck rear fender.The back of the cab is made from a late 30 Chevy truck roof and cab corner from a early 60`s Fargo 1 ton truck and a S10!!

 

That sounds cool. I look foward to seeing some pics.

 

MAN!!! rodders don't know what they are missing, this post is full of "GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN MARQUES!

Rcently when I mentioned Hudson to a Young car guy, he inquired"Was that part of chrysler or ford or Gm?

 

here's a 38 austin bantam i saw on ebay a while back, had a toyota 4 cylinder which was kind of odd, but i thought it was a pretty mean looking truck. used to be a sedan i think.

 

Here are some pics of the Frazer... Cut in half and how it was in the process of making it the RPU...I added a pic of the car prior to cutting it in half
