Features Finding the Mitchell Roadster

One of my favorites. It's disappointing, how quickly a very well-done rod can turn ugly.

 

@J.Ukrop are you going to divulge were we might find the for sale ad ? In case one of us could afford to buy it...Great story by the way....

 

If you still need ******, that's on you...

 

Seeing the Mitchell Model A and the McMullen 32 are enough reason for panel striping to make a come back.

 

Man that’s a rad find!

 

Yeah - there are 2 paths (theoretically) available to a new owner of a nicely finished hot rod:

1. Maintain it essentially as-is, maybe with tiny improvements;
2. Change it to your taste:
A. Car is improved (McMullin's original roadster);
B. Car is f%^&ed up.
If the new owner is into showing the car, 2B was the inevitable result.

 

What a gorgeous car! It deserves to be brought back to life to its former self. And the Don Emmons photography ain’t bad either.
