Thanks a ton! I'm saving it...

 

You are more than welcome...cool pic

 

btt
let's see more???????

 

That's what we all forget about the 'good old days..' from someone that had a '57 Lincoln in a '47 Ford coupe; and did I mention that it was still a 6 volt electrical system? Parked on a hill whenever I could

 

Here are a couple from the old mans cache...

Thats my uncles roadster and the 34 in the middle of the second pic is still intact today..

Sinister as Hell!

 

early 50s

 

same car

 

sorry switched pictures but this is what i meant to post first

 

Built my car to be something of a "period Piece" ... but it's not from a period that gets much play here. Period is very late `50's - early `60's...and is as heavily influenced by the East as well as the west Coast. But it was what I aspired to in high school ... in North Texas ... so it really resonates with me personally. Thanks to all the "little pages" that made their way to Saint Jo TX in 1960 -63,

 

I have stacks of 50's and 60's Hot Rod mags from my dad. Love looking at the old pics.

 

"very late 50s to early 60s". I agree. Hard to define or make a period thread for that, but I would think it would be popular.

 

WOW, great threrad since I was born in the lates 70's, Its hard to imagine a time when you could find perfect cars from the 30's like a perfect 34 and chop a perfect 34 Ford grille or chop up a perfect 32!! Must have been great times!! Imagine going to a junkyard and pulling out barley used flatheads and unlimited parts!!! Keep this thread going the younger guys on the HAMB are counting on you guys who lived it!! I am building my 34 in the spirit of the 50's era hot rod!!! -Eric

 

Im not finished with her but think im on the right track with a 50's era East Coast hot rod!!

 

Yea and the body's are mint!! Guess its because the cars were only 20+ years old then not 75+ years old like they are now!

 

50's style

 

Kassa coupe is still my fav. 32!!

 

People didn't drive around in rusty junk if they could help it, and primer was only until you got paint.

 

Sweet! looks cool

 

Fantastic shots !

 

Here's a couple from my area, back in the day.

 

jimmy that 5 window did me in.....

 

Do you know the history of its whereabouts in the late 60’s - early 70s?
It sure looks like the roadster I saw in a storage yard in south Sacramento when I was a kid.

 

Wasn't it at the GNRS this year. ?

 

Makes me think of this:

 

Thiis is the roadster I had in the late 50's. 31 body channeled over a 32 frame, with a George Imazumi built 296" winfield cammed flathead. A lot of body molding.

It looked pretty good for its day.
