    I drive by the Seeburg muffler car every day. It's starting to look a bit rough(er).

    Lots of them out there, but when you post them here, most replies will tell you they don't belong. If you're into custom cars, then coachbuilts are part of the history of them. another one that cxomes to mind is Boyd's Alumacoupe. But again, not HAMB material. All alum frame and body, so just about 100% custom.

    I'm thinking the OP was looking specifically for HAMB members and not just anyone.

    This is over 90% built from scratch. The main thing I learned: You think if you design and build it yourself you can do everything the way you want. The truth is that every decision becomes a design constraint to the next decision. I went a little too fast and made a bunch of mistakes but it didn't turn out too hateful.

    Yes, I have it and I am restoring it. This pic was at Autorama in Detroit a few years ago. Small Valletta pic Autorama.jpg

    4 speed Transmission from a Ford Truck with a Brownie 2 Speed behind it, Air Brakes with 4" Square Frame Rails acting as Air storage tank , hidden electric ****ons to open the Doors, Interior from Unborn Calf. Steel framed Bed with Aluminum Siding, 12" Crosley wheels Twin exhaust behind Cab with No mufflers as they were not needed IMG_0189.JPG .Large Front Bumper because the Little Truck was used as a Push Truck at the Race Tracks. I'm sure I forgot a bunch of items , but that kind of covers the most of it.
