Features HAMB Shoebox Club

That thing is sick.... Love it

 

51 392 is still going strong after many iterations since the mid ‘90’s.

old rod, now a fifties custom.

 

Now this is what I’m talking about!!!!! Anytime you pop the hood and you see this you know it’s a bad mother!!!!!

 

That is a unique looking shoebox for sure and I kinda like it. I wonder if there is more information about the car and if there are more pictures and details of it. I’d like to try and build a replica of it

 

I think the fastback is different and would be very cool, But the coupe roof line is perfect in my mind and got it correct. Being said, I would really like to see one done

 

Funny but somehow this factory fastback design study looks a little bit like what many top chops trying to achieve. Never seen it before.

 

Have you folks seen this site:

I’ve already got a woody, 2dr sedan and a convertible but the roofline that I think is sharp is a Vicky. I’ve owned all of the rooflines at one time or another but the coupe and Victoria are my favorites.

 

A chop on that would be interesting. Where are the photoshop guys?

 

Last year when we did the power tour they stole a challenger from the hotel. Snapped a picture of the vin walked over to the car made a key walked back and drove it away. I’m in the Boro as well in Blackman. They are building way too many houses here. Used to be all farms now it’s developments

 

Th at have a Merc grill in it or is that a Canadian factory grill?

 

Original, unmolested 50' Club Coupe.

 

Don't see too many Meteor Coupes, these days. Nice!

 

My '49 Meteor Club Coupe.

 

Just a concept this one, but looks pretty slick

 

My 51 in Iowa

 

Here's my wife's new 50 2dr sedan.
390 FE fenderwell headers, top loaded 4 speed and posi rear.

 

Cool, I would think it will get along alright with that combo

 

I have a 50 model that needs a good steering box, the original will not adjust out, is there a box that i can install that will replace the original. Don
