Best looking Tudor ever !!!

 

great pics

 

Thanks and I love that Tudor.... as well as the kustom Gherkin....

 

How do you open the ones that have 'X IMG'? I right clicked, did show picture, with no results.

 

Frank Maratta eventually cut that car up. Story goes the lead used in the build was melted and sold for s**** all 40 pounds or so of it!

 

40 lbs??.... I would have thought closer to 400 lbs !!

Thanks for the post.

I remember going to the show when it was in Hartford CT in the early 60s. One time it was in a big snow storm and a few of us went together in fellow car club member Ray B. corvair, all traffic was stopped but the rear engine corvair plowed on, well on a few hills we had to give it a push. Those were the days...

 

Somehow HAMB last all the url's I guess... As the photos are still there or Facebook changed it. Here is the link to them all: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.676796839029319.1073741857.111745702201105&type=3

 

In the "Cool Cars/ Square Roll Bars" book they said when the "Mystery" car was dismantled, Frank filled a 55 gallon drum with lead ( which he s****ped for $11.80 ) A bit more than 40# I think!!

 

Sorry for bumping an old thread , I know the pink Frank Maratta '40 Merc was the cover car of August 1957 Rod & Custom. I have seen the car referred to as "Maratta's mystery" , but apparently it had some other name , which was mentioned in the R & C feature .
Any idea what the name was ?
