@straykatkustoms You've been posting a LOT of sweet 30's and 40's taildraggers over the last year but this 41 Chevy Coupe turns my crank. Someday I wish to be lucky enough to cruise one just like this.

 

This beautiful custom was built on the East Coast way-back-when by Jack Peed, who bought the car in 1950.
It was originally Lime Gold, and had a Buick Nailhead, shifted by a Packard top-loader.
I believe Sonny Daout had a hand in the chop.
EDIT: Daout is credited with the major work. (thanks, Sancho. )



Jack owned the car for decades.
Here it is in black, with 327 Chevy power.



Sonny Daout's Dodge. The motor is '57 Pontiac.
Sonny bought the car (wrecked) in 1953, finished it 1962, and still drives it!

 

Sonny built the car. This is from the Rodder's Journal:
"Gary Minor first caught a glimpse of Jack Peed’s Chevy custom at the Ram Rods’ car show at the National Guard Armory in Washington D.C. back in 1962. Then just seventeen years old, Gary couldn’t have imagined that more than a half century later he would own the very same 1950 Chevrolet. It was originally built by Sonny Daout, who did the extensive bodywork. Although it has been through several powerplants including the original inline-six and a Buick nailhead and several paint jobs the custom retains many of its signature features that garnered Gary’s attention all those years ago including the chopped hardtop-style roof, ’54 Buick sidetrim and a ’54 Chevy grille."

 

Ok...... will do

You can get a few glimpses of Lyle Lake's "Blue Danube" Buick, beginning at 19:18 minutes in,
on this clip from the Twilight Zone episode, "Third From the Sun"...

 

Joe Bailon was once quoted to have cited Sonny Morris' "Blue Mirage" as his personal favorite build.

Love the side trim. Anyone know what it's from or custom made?

 

Stock 1954 Pontiac.

 

Thank you, I did a couple of quick google searches and that style didn't come up.

 

Thank you! This is the post of the week, maybe today, well at least for now....

 

"...for now" is good. Thanks!
Great thread...good stuff being posted!

 

Nice start on a '50 DeSoto.
