    That car has been around for a long time. I have seen it a couple of times, the color is very strange...it almost turns pink in some light. I think I saw it in Ohio or Minnesota when the Nats still moved around from place to place. Very nice car, never dug the color, but dang nice.

    I really think it needs a change in color. Other than that I would be proud as hell to own it.

    That's the car that got me hooked on traditional rods. I saw that on the cover of American Rodder back in the eighties and it was like a magnet!

    I love the color on that car, but then I am a *****......'cause I am what I eat.

    I have seen it in person and it is very detailed and nice. The color is one of those LOVE it or HATE it colors. I do not think it will sell at 80 grand.

    There is not a lot of expensive, rare or usual parts on it. No race history ... no famous past owners.

    But it is well detailed and done :D

    We will have to wait and see ...

    Can't quite figure out the 6 ball shift knob, would'nt the 4 ball match the color a little better?
    Love it or hate it (color) that's one awesome rod.........................;)

    While "ugly" isn't a word I'd use to describe that car, I sure do like the 3WLarry coupe alot better than this one... and I think I'd say that even if it wasn't that bad color. Easter egg purple with red wheels? C'mon now... If that's "darn near perfect", then that black 3W is perfect x2.

    Hey, you could paint it flat black, with those red wheels, and add a horseblanket seat cover and pinstriping. Everyone would like that! :-(

    Actually the color gives it a "bigger than life" '50s look, like it rolled out of a time-warp. Pinks and Coral colors were popular on cars of that era. To paint it a commonly used color would only make it look "average".

    If Larry's black 3w is average, I'd gladly take average over purple..
     
  29. The color is ****in' ugly, the car is cool but, putting that car in the same category or sentece as 3wLarry deuce would be crazy.

    OK, you're right...cool car, but the more I look at it the uglier that color is. I was just being polite.;)
