History 32 5 Window from Rod & Custom Nov. '60

How about this one? Bored/stroked flathead, sectioned/filled grill shell, Buick tail lights, chrome front end, and green tinted plastic roof insert!

 

I like it! Thanks for posting it. -Dave

 

I Love the Original Hot Rods !

 

That is awesome! Love the use of the '47 Buick taillights with the exhaust exiting thru the bezels.

 

Very cool. I wonder if it is still setting in a garage somewhere in Iowa.

 

I just posted some old slides in my 40 Ford Cedar Rapids Ia thread. No pictures of this car but I there are a few other 32 chopped and channeled coupes.
Where was this car from?

 

According to the article it's from Dubuque.

 

22 years old at the time of the feature. Now 78 years young, he still owns it! What an awesome Hot Rod!

I saw that car a few years ago. It is definitely a time machine.

 

All the right stuff...from the HAM town!

 

WOW!!!

 

Very cool plexiglas roof insert.. is it tinted?

 

...............May have been the earliest use of '47 Buick tailights on a hot-rod. What do you guys think?

 

Part 2 ... >>>>>> Good mornin' fellas !!!

 

What a great car and a great story to go with it!

 

..........That's for sure.

 

@F&J Frank, check it out. Another '56/'58 Ford wheel...

 

Cool videos! Thanks for sharing.

 

Nothing quite like an original, the car and the story are something special! I always wonder what happened to all the cars that I lusted over from the " little books". Thanks for sharing this little gem, Carp
