At local cruise night. A really nice car.

 

Another very nice car at Valentine's Day cruise.

 

^^ never saw a he**** that was 2 door sedan based before. Probably cheaper for the coach builder to start with I guess, if you're not gonna use the roof or tailgate anyway.

 

What they did with the side trim is interesting.

 

Well, you can never say that again!
Now this is a weird one.........


Can you positively say what body style this is?
I'll post a photo of the car after getting some opinions, the car in question has wheels that are not HAMB friendly so it probably won't be up very long.

 

Crickets!

 

My SWAG is a 4 door 56 210?

 

OK, so no thoughts eh!
Our HAMB pal @Stogy accepted my challenge and came through again with his digital skills and made this car more in line with HAMB guidelines, and yes, this car has modern drivetrain bits.

I did not see anything about quarter panel modifications in the original ad posting so not sure but this thing sure is odd, sort of wonder if the wagon needed new quarters but only sedan versions were available at the time, just a thought.
Also, notice the station wagon rear bumper on the he****, due to the rear door.

Anyhoo, here it is, I think Stogy nailed it with the wheel change.
Again, any thoughts.



Compare to original 150 wagon.

 

GNRS, '26

 

...another of same...

Longer trim spear on the door rocker trim and no rubber ***s...

 

That's the best digital tire/wheel swap I've ever seen, thanks Stogy.

 

I think the door molding on the '57 Handyman is a 150 4 door sedan rear door molding.

 

Whew, that was close!
