Frank Oddo

Does anyone remember the name he called his '40 Ford Coupe? He loved that car as did many of us through "Street Rodder" articles. Seems that it may have been "Delila", or something close? My age works against me these days.
Thanks for the help guys!regards,phred.

 

Desire, I believe. Did he die? Dave

 

.....?

 

Unfortunately, Frank Oddo passed away a few months ago. Very sad...always enjoyed his commentary.

 

Thanks,Guys.regards,phred.

 

Yes, very sad. I always liked seeing pic's of his '40 coupe. One pic, that stood out to me, was at a drag strip, with moon discs on it. I decided, after seeing that pic, that my '40 would be running moon discs.

 

"Desire" referred to "A Streetcar Named Desire" By Tennessee Williams I think.
Clever and literate name for a streetrod!
