Can we have a talk about "Shorties"?

Gotta say I like this one, was in the ‘post entry’ section in a ‘70s Hot Rod mag. Would be better with the rear axle back 8 inches, but yeah I’d drive it.

 

I know this is about Shorts, but that stretched out Ranchero is soooo cool!

 

Seams like a hell of a waste of some cool old cars ???

 

another from the post entry section of Hot Rod

 

Shorties aren't a waste of resources at all. Many times they're made from vehicles that were considered worthless and found a new life as abbreviated cars. A far better outcome than being junked.

 

Factory uncut Austin

 

Most guys don't want to be known for having a "shortie"...............jus sayin

Love this thing! Looks like an old Roth T shirt car.

 

Another one the factory did right but never bothered offering to the public

 

Generally not a shortie guy, but I rather like the shorty Model A sedans.
