    What is this... this gorgeous piece of art on wheels? I want one. P.S. if you have any facts on it, please pm me, I will build one of these from scratch if that is what it takes.

    '49 or '50 Ford club coop...sectioned, molded, radiused wheel wells and lowered...plus a lot more changes...

    Good luck on the building from scratch part..have you ever "built" a car...sectioning is a lot of work...

    It apparently started life as a 49-51 Ford

    I'm having a brain fart, and can't remember the guys name. But I'm pretty sure that guy in the picture is a movie star. I know I read it on the hamb somewhere.

    Nice car, hopefully someone on the HAMB has some info on it. Whoever built it studied Italian sports car designs or the era.

    This picture is a permanent fixture on the first floor wall of the Petersen Automotive Museum. The curator, Leslie Kendall could tell you what car this is. He will know. His email address is - lkendall@petersen.org
