History Period image...model a w/bobbed rear valence panel/trunk?

Does anybody recall a late 50's Build where the rear panel and deck were bobbed up Exposing the rear spring? I think the frame had been chromed and was built by a gentleman serving in the Navy at the time? May have been a SoCal/ San Diego build? I can't remember if it was featured in a magazine or if there was just a snapshot taken from the rear three-quarter view. A picture or Two would be great.

 

I haven’t tried to locate a photo yet, but I’m thinking about a black, channeled, flathead powered car with long chromed side pipes. The pipes were angled upward.

 

that could be, It's not the Jack Calori car though. Thank you!

 

For sure not the Calori car, the roadster in question was hood less. The cl***ic photo of the car is a three quarter shot with the owner looking back at the camera over his shoulder.

 

There it is...

Wonder what has happened to the roadster since 2008?

 

IIRC, the model "T" was on the cover of March
1958 Hot rod Magazine.

 

Bobtailed A. hummmm. I like them!
Back in the late 1950,I enjoyed a number of little book mag.s,a few bobtails would show up.
They piked my interest,as the old rust n crash in rear, 28 roadster body I had got ,was messed up in the rear,being crushed in up too were the front edge of trunk lid had been.
As a teen,that was more damage then I could fix,so I just cut it off. Used the the mostly good part to build my Rod. Did get it first running in 1959. Still have,an drive. For most Bobtails,there a story,but we don't always get to know.
