It's amazing that there were any tasteful cars there at all! I'd like to own at least half of them, which is a high ratio for 1980s cars.
**** I was just going to post some pics of east coast customs from my collection of old car magazines that I have been flipping through ...then I noticed how old the thread is , maybe it will get going again . I did notice the woody in the last post .....and it looked like one I just saw in one of the magazines I flipped through....is it? That would be kool if it is .
Here's some cover shots from my collection ,east coast cars that I think was mentioned in earlier posts. Maybe this will get this thread moving again, if so I have alot of magazines, of course all east coast stuff
This is before Frank Maratta changed this Mercury into the hideous pink "Maratta Mystery" which was later cut up and s****ped.
IMO, this is probably the nicest 1934 Ford of all time. And, yes, I saw the car when I lived in New England.
I own this car now, someone before me added a 56 wagon rear bumper. I replaced the louvered hood with a shaved one like it had before and had Kenny Baker, CHOPRODS, rechop/rebody it and now have fixed the front suspension back to drive-able. Next is paint and I am leaning toward the earliest pictured blue below. I have seen most of these pictures but not all. Thanks.
Anyone know anything about a 39-40 Chopped Ford coupe painted pink that used to run around in n***au county , Long Island around 30 years ago ???
