Does anyone know where or what happened to this Panella Bros truck?

 

had to take a double take on this one...different but cool

 

Double take on this one.
What do you call it a Chord, a Forvolet????

 

Gotta agree,Skip.
Comp coupes were my first love when I discovered drag racing.
Would love to have that.Perfect.

 

Am I seeing things or is this a 53 Ford hardtop with a 55 Chevy nose. Huh

Pat

 

What's the back?

 

No,I did not crop the photo.Way I found it.Always like to give credit if it's available.

 

it's a 53/54 ford ,with a go fast front clip

 

Ayup.

Sorta neat, eh Pat?

 

It's a '54 Victoria! Had one in 1961. Traded it in on a '58 Corvette when I came to California. Dad never forgave me.

Thank you.

 

For those that may be interested this car was found intact still wearing the artwork and is now owned by Tony Cola and is being restored. Also for any model builders out there we are making the decals for this you can find them on our site under Cars of 1962.

 

I would imagine it'd be hard to find a 'glass front end for a '53(?) Ford! It's weird for me when this car pops up. It used to sit abandoned in a tiny junk lot off of Dixie Hiway, north of Fort Knox around '82. My friends and I used to park outside the fence and wonder about it. Toohey's auto parts on Preston had a faded picture (maybe this one) hanging above the counter when I was a little kid. Anybody know where this pic was taken? Ohio valley, Cedar Creek...?

 

picture is mine and was taken at Clay City. Jim Lyons car.

 

Alton Dragway, Illinois. Sorry if a few of these aren't so much 'in motion'.

 

The last of 'em. Some not so good, but they are what they are.

 

^^^^^Those are great.
