  1. Found this on the project car post. Ayone ever heard of one or seen one before.
    I'm not sure what I think of it. I though I knew cars pretty good, but this one's a mistery.

    wouldn't look that bad with a different roof, or none at all.
     
  5. i know a guy that has a 1923 jordan********, but i'm sure they were out of buisiness long before this car was made. my guess is it was built on a crosley.

    Too damn small for my tastes. That steering wheel looks huge in that little thing. [​IMG]

    Playboy was first published in 1953, Marilyn on the cover and centerfold... Ohhh, you talking about the car!

    That one was produced by******** Motor Car corp in Buffalo NY between 1947-1951. About 90 cars were made. Powered by a 40 hp Hercules 4-cyl (some had a Continental engine, about the same displacemnet). Wheelbase 90 inch, overall length 155 inches and weight 2035 pound.

    Its not Related to Jordan********, an early 20´s sports luxory car, a real hot car back then, or Tina Jordan,********´s Miss March 2002...

    And Tina Jordan have no relation, from what I know, to******** Jordan, but her grandmother might have beacause the wellknown 1923******** Jordan ad did read:"Somewhere west of Laramie there's a bronco-busting, steer-roping girl who knows what I'm talking about. She can tell what a sassy pony that's a cross between greased lightning and the place where it hits, can do with eleven hundred pounds of steel and action when he's going high, wide and handsome. The truth is — The******** was built for her",
