  2. Hemi says hot rod, body says bush buggy. While I might drive it, it wouldn’t be allowed in my jurisdiction, so that problem was solved for me. Keep digging em up Anthony.

    Looks like a Studebaker V8 by the 4 bolt valve covers, and a plywood body.

    neat story! My older brother was kind of interested in cars, and did a few things with them, but ended up going into computers. Before that, he also built a telescope (my father also spent most of his career working with telescopes), about the time I was getting into working on engines.

    this is my twin brother David, with our older brother's telescope. Funny how that works, 25 years ago David went to work for the University, in their radio telescope department! But he does still play with cars a little also, and always has an old one to drive.

    The buggy is neat! Not a real hot rod, but a fun, fast, cheap, easy way to have fun.

    Dude said his older brother drove it in high school

    They had fun.
    They built it to suit them
    Bet they didn't ask anyone if they should do this or that.
    They didn't overthink it.
    Simple good times.
