It has vanished.

 

You can't see the picture?

 

As much as I am DYING to have this on my 56, I just cannot justify the cost. Watson had his early shop next to Nance chevrolet...

That would have looked good on Hershel McGriff's 50 Olds.

 

If I had a big, red, ragtop, licensed in Oregon, Id hunt one of those down. Very "city of roses"

 

From some of my past rides, now they're taking up space on the wall of my garage...

 

Here's a cool frame from Young's Speed Shop.Opened in the '50's and sadly closed about 10 years ago.

 

Just picked this one up for my Vicky..... So early 60's cool! Not a repro. Been looking for a Blairs, Pasadena frame for years.

 

Hang the thief by the balls!

 

I've collected a big stack of those U.S. Pioneer frames and use them on all my cars.

 

Here's a better pic.

 

Somewhere in the '90's a guy I worked with dug this up and knowing I was in to old cars, gave it to me. Little did he know that I worked at this dealership in the '60's as parts manager. The dealership was the oldest still operating, established in 1913. It was run by the third generation of Stewarts. Finally closed sometime in the '80's.

 

I made this one from a VW dealer frame, added the Caddy logo and a little fresh paint...but the Cad did come from a S.A. dealer when it was new....

 

Central Chevrolet opened in 1937 in Centerville (now Fremont) California and closed 10 - 15 years ago.
this one is from the 60's.

 

here's Central Chevrolet frame on a 54 Chevrolet. Centerville became Fremont in 1956 so this is a 1956 or later frame

Found in cars I've owned (and sold).



On my panel now.....can't remember what car I found this in.

 

I am digging my front plate topper...

 

Custom made but earned none the less….

 

Got another NSRA frame a while back. Slightly different than the first one.
