Art & Inspiration HAMB worthy cars you have owned.

$500 '39 Ford pickup. Hated that '39 grille...adapted a '36 pickup. 289/3+1 4spd.

 

Paid $2500 for this '54 Chevy Panel Deliv...an old hippy van. It became the Wife's grocery getter. 350/350.

 

Built this "phantom" Sedan Delivery from a '31 Slantwindow Fordor Sedan 302/C6.

 

Traded the Sedan Deliv. to the late @Hamtown Al (RIP) for this '36 Cabriolet. During the "Covid break" had a chance to go through it. 302AOD.

 

A few misc. others I've owned...

My high school hot rod built in auto shop, '48 Chevy 283/3spd.

Bought this '58 Ranchero wrecked for $50. Replaced front sheet metal with '57 nose. 390/4spd.


A couple of Model T Depot Hacks I build for a buddy.


Bought this '32 Ford pickup for $1200...only owned for a week...couldn't resist a "quadruple your money" offer.

Picked up this Plymouth "coupster", but was just too ugly/odd to build.


An $800 cobbled up '34 Fordor.
The Sedan was sacrificed to repair a buddy's wrecked '33 5 window. Sold the '26 Roadster to a HAMBer who finished it (can't remember his username).

Picked up this '40 Plymouth in a trade...a 2 door sedan with no roof...so I built one.
