This got the Louversmith juggling a bit...I like the sunshine louvers in the interior from the roof insert...that's a ton of ventilation...nice shot Sky...

 

. . . and what makes this a Modified Roadster?

 

...It's an inspiration of a Hotrod really, nothing more nothing less...the race class lettering which I believe what your basing your question on is a play on the Theme, A modified Roadster or another interpretation Model A, Hotrodded Roadster(A/MR)...period...I don't think for a minute the owner enters it in any racing events relating to a Class as you know that...there's no sense of humor for many things Hotrod...how about the brakes...where's the rollbar, it's an Inspiration in Hotrod...but I will say nothing has changed as questioning Art is as Traditional as apple pie...

Art has no rules and can be reason for discussion both positive and negative...here we are...

A/MR...Aspirated/Modified Roadster is the correct definition of the Class Lettering IF it truly was one...if I'm not mistaken...Since you are up on such things please verify for anyone interested. There's even a chance the owner is well aware of that.

​

 

Thank you!

 

...one more from @H-O-O-V-E-R...he has wicked camera skills as well...there's art in all the mechanicalness...without a doubt...

Hoover do you do louvers for Hotrod /Custom folk your way at the Shop? Others sometimes ask...

If so you're a PM away...

​

 

Not currently set up for it but could be if anyone needs help pressing some.

 

That's great Hoover, I will pop your name in that post above so others know then...they can PM you with their needs...your capabilities are well covered within your Thread...

Convenience by region is a factor many times...

...this was one cool Hotrodder and Hotrod, Tommy Lee's Frank Kurtis Modified Cord...his is a sad story too, but this image a stunning moment in the Big Picture...the Cord still around too...This pic has a twist though...

Quoted below...from the Late Hamber DND (Don Nowell)

"My Uncle Dick Nowell got a ride in the Tommy Lee speedster as this is him talking to the Offy Engine man out on the dry lake bed in the early 40's"

...Wouldn't that have been a blast...RIP Don

It's not the first time around for this wild thing here but I welcome revisits...

Think about it, IF the trunk lid wasn't lovered, and /or unlatched, it would LIFT rear of car, at speed.

like an airplane wing, or like FATJACKS '46 Ford Coupe, when it crashed.
