My Dad has a '34 5-window project that I plagiarized an Eric Black piece to create this concept. Dad doesn't seem to like the green though.

Hello,

This Carson Top Convertible is one of the nicest one around. It is a smooth design, custom car that has hidden it roots in the build. It showcases So Cal style in the 50s and early 60s. It well built and completely hides the big 46 Ford convertible design with its sleek new/old look.

If a challenge question arises about the whereabouts of this green convertible, the answer will be: The Price Transfer Automobilia Complex in So Cal. When the Automobilia and Lion’s Dragstrip Museum reopens after the pandemic is over, you can’t miss it. As you walk down the rows of hot rods and customs, on the way to the dragstrip museum’s new wing, You will be “Green With Envy” after walking down that row.

It is a full custom redesign that looks like it rolled off of the custom car garage assembly lines from those small shops that were everywhere back in the early days.

“The car received 14 coats of Kandy Emerald Green by House of Kolor atop a silver base coat to achieve the seductive finish that gives the car its name: Green Envy. The body looks straight and shows well with its set of custom hubcaps and wide whitewall tires. This custom creation incorporates many elements from other cars produced around the same era.

The platform started out as a 1946 Ford convertible and was adorned with Ford elements from various years, such as headlights from a 1939 model, while the windshield was raised two inches to make room for a Lincoln cowl hood. The front end is immediately recognizable as it utilizes many design components from the 1938-39 Lincoln Zephyr.”

The epitome of convertible cruising for women and girls, with their “THING” for the classic “wind in their hair, open air driving.”

 

1939 Chevy sedan Pomona, CA

Hello,

On a cold winter morning on a vista view plateau in Pomona, CA. One of the nicest green Chevy sedans was present on an excellent photo shoot day. The car was a daily driver and did plenty of miles on local road trips.

The odd thing was, the magazines did not like Chevy sedans at the time and only wanted Ford sedans. So, all of the color slides and photos were given away as a consolation. What was left over in my files got lost in translation during house moves.

The green paint was highlighted with pinstripe outlines and small yellow flames on the front end. One cold morning for one cool hot rod...

Well my cousin tb33anda3rd has not done it yet, so I will post some pictures of his always in the family (Joe Boccuzzi Green) 33 Chevy coupe. It is as nice as they come.
She knows a good thing when she sees it!

 

Noel Maurer is from Dubuque Iowa and a member of the Slo-Pokes Car Club. Noel built his 32 Ford coupe as his high school industrial arts project in the 1950s. It was featured in the November 1960 issue of Rod & Custom Magazine. Noel still owns and drives his 32. The bottom photo is a recent shot of the car at the Goodguys show in Des Moines Iowa.

how about a green 56 chevy

 

Very nice. Yreka?...... makes me think of Casa Ramos!

 

If you have to ask then it's probably not.

I'd say that's an '80s style teal truck with big inch diameter wheels...you decide.

 

here's a few...

 

Yes it is!.....
Just hide those wheels and tires....
