Hot Rods I just bought a La Dawri California

Mine may actually be the shorter Del Mar and not a Sebring as previously posted. I just bought this catalog off from eBay and according to wheelbase specs I should not need to shorten my Henry J’s chassis to fit a Sebring as it would be within two inches…



Link to whole catalog…

This just showed up on Fakebook. Looks like the dash is from a mid fifties Ford which jives with the Y block engine.

Looking at the ad, didn’t the Y-block come out in ‘54?

 

Yes it did. That is a '53 dash, but there's no pics of the engine and it's certainly not a "53 Y-block" so who knows. Another seller who doesn't really know about what they're selling.

 

Great car, @Nads ! You make it look easy. Just stumbled on this thread for some reason.

“Radir’s Relics”. That brings back memories from living in Altamonte Springs from 70-82.
That and “Skycraft Surplus” were both a weekly stop for me.

 

The gauge speedo looks similar to my 52 Chrysler dash.

 

Look at the picture on the trailer, the reflection of the trailer wheel cover almost looks like early corvette relief area and I dig the look with it

 

I loved both those places. Skycraftstill exists in a different location but it's a shadow of its former self. They sell scratch and dent foods and other garbage too.
