    A friend of mine is setting up at the Carlisle Chrysler show and offered to take it to see if anyone knows. I may try some 2000 grit paper to sand some of the black off. Would be cool if the headlights & trim was painted on. Thanks for all the ideas. It's staying in the collection at this time... just big and weird enough!

    Man, you find ALL the good stuff!!!

    Like Ray, I find this piece fascinating. I like the split bumpers, tube grille, rear pan, fins, etc. The greenhouse is a little bizarre as are the sheer size of the fins. Quad headlights (can't tell from pic)???

    I almost agree with the sign theory but I think it would have been made from wood in the 50s/60s. I've never seen anything quite like it, sure hope someone on here can help ID it.

    Break out the 1000 grit and find out what lies beneath.
