My friend Bill, not a car nut, calls these sleek cars "Cartoon cars", not as an insult by far; just that in his mind they bring back memories of the cars in the old cartoons that would bend as they rounded a turn. If I were producing a '40's fantasy movie, every car in it would look like this cl***ic '36 custom trope.
Have to agree the extended rear fenders do tend to push it out of the Traditional Custom Car Corral. But the White grille is still a creative departure from the usual Packard that I "mistook" it for....... Also have to agree, I could look at it all day........from Any angle!
Lot of respect for Troy Ladd's builds. Here is a pic of the donor sedan. Wow! https://www.hollywoodhotrods.com/35...jiyzjlwp-898e8202-538b-4e16-b0bc-9daa9f8c747e
I remember following along to the build thread on here, too bad the pics went ****, it was a great follow.
Such an elegant exercise, in metal shaping and attention to detail! There won't be any muddy boots worn in this kick *** rig!
