History Vintage odd ball stuff, super deep channels, weird engines, strange bodies etc...

It sure is different.

 

It was ugly as sin, especially compared to his coupe and truck, but would love to own it if it still existed

 

Sorry but when I glanced at the topic and saw Weird, Oddball and Strange Bodies I thought we were posting self photos. My bad.

Dennis, is that top one a portable shower when the fishing fleet returns to Fishermen's Terminal? Lol

 

Hey KAK.
I shot that photograph of that cool Dodge COE, at the Portland swap meet a few years ago!
I thought it was a pretty cool rig!

 

Well it was pretty cool. Where did it go?

 

Well it was vintage, no billet on the wheels, and it was unique, but as you will find from time to time, images get deleted with out any explanation, so no big deal ! ☺️

 

Found on Instagram... it fits, but what isit?

 

It's a Goggomobil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goggomobil

 

It would seem that just about every whacky Euro car made at least a few were sold in the U.S.A.

 

Strangely reminds me of this:

 

Back when funny cars still had humour to them. Brilliant.

 

This is the strangest car I have ever owned. I bought it in Elkhart, IN in a small garage. It was being sold by an elderly lady whose late husband had built it over a period of years. He was an auto body instructor at a local career center. It my mind it was kind of like the Johnny Cash song "One piece at a time". It had parts from Buick, Lincoln, Studebaker, etc. It ran and drove when I got it. It was supposedly on a Willys chassis and had a Studebaker V-8 with 3 speed trans. This picture was taken at the Kruse Auction in Auburn, Indiana. That is me and my son Brian in the background. Brian is 42 now! I sold it at the car corral in Auburn to a guy who was a student in the builder's auto body class. He still has the car in his showroom at his business in Elkhart, IN.

 

Nicely done.

 

From my family archives the cars in the first were built by my uncle in the Philippines early 60’s.

 

Walter Rose T with Cord engine.

 

T' bird concept????....

 

All I can say about these cars is: “just because you can- doesn’t mean you should “…
Fun to look at though…

 

These two belong in a 1950s sci fi b movie. I can see it now... the voices in my head say NO!

 

You got that right....

 

Ken Austin's Model T coupe at Scappoose, Oregon. Ken usually ran a flathead V-8 in the car, but here he is running a Ford 6. The car was chopped and channeled so low that it was waist high.

 

I'd take about 14" off the back of that turd bird. It's close. Just too long in the ass.

 

How about Junior Brogdon's Phony Pony? He sometimes ran a single injected 289, sometimes two 289's, and sometimes a blown 289. I'd really like to recreate this someday...
