History 3 Window Conversions - Documenting those that exist and concept designs.

I can't believe Dylan Hill's Model A coupe isn't already posted on this thread. Victoria cowl and doors merged with a coupe roof and quarters on a deuce frame. The proportions are just about perfect.

 

I'm surprised Edsel didn't continue the 3 window at least until he left us.

 

Slanted A-pillar, extended door, all it needed for perfection.

 

How the rear of the door top takes shape makes or breaks this conversion, IMHO.

 

Elegant.

 

This guy is just a kid, but look what he does ! I watch him on YOUTUBE.

 

Even more elegant than original !

 

I really enjoy watching Karl Fisher demonstrating doing it by hand and with his machines. He is so helpful, explaining each step from a flat sheet of metal to a grille surround, or whatever.

 

when I read the ***le to this thread I expected to see model As,
I’m more of a hotrod guy
but
It’s been a very gratifying edumacation
Thank you @Flyinlow

 

What is that It looks interesting...
I mean it looks like a headache I don't need but I like it.

 

It has the "Mercury" step in the door sheetmetal? 60 Special

 

I do like 3 window hot rods, though I thought do***enting both the customs, hot rods, and odd balls that have been given this treatment, would be interesting... I have a bunch of images of many other body styles converted to a 3 window, that I'll post regularly...

 

Based on what sheet metal I do see, I think it actually was a 49 to 51 Mercury. It is interesting for sure, and if given some more styling work it could potentially look neat when finished...

 

I was thinking it's a Merc also I wonder who built it and if it ever was finished

 

I've been wondering the same thing. Hopefully someone will chime in eventually...

 

Ray and Mynas Buick

 

The Barris built 1940 Mercury

 

The Coachcraft Solomon coupe is definitely one of my favorites!!!
