Last week my dad sent me pics from a Craigslist posting. I don't know much about the car yet, but he got it in the Seattle area. I guess it may have some Bonneville racing history, but I am not sure about any of it. Please take a look and I will get you more details as soon as I get them. We are looking for any information on the car. And yes this is almost exactly how he found it.
Kinda looks like one of those Mexican road race cars from the mid '50s, everthing looks real vintage but that looks like an alternator on there, I know they made some in that era but still looks out of place a little, car looks very cool and seems all it needs in a going through. good find.
Grill looks like it could have been from a 1932 Graham. As for the alternator, it just means that someone has been using it in the last 10-15 years...and that's a good thing.
Any idea when it was last roaming the streets? Some of the best history comes from the owner if they will take the time to share it...
Nice find. Can I ask what makes you say it is a Model A? Chassis is Chev or Essex. Body is custom. That grille is a cut down '34 Pontiac.
wow.. that car too cool... it amazes me what everyone finds out there...makes me scream.. I been hunting for years and never find anything..crazy.. all I start with on my builds is just an old cowl section.. But I love to find something... oh well woodguy
Cool find! Heck, that alternator could've been added over 40 years ago, since they started showing up in the mid-'60s. Malcolm
the more I look at it, the more I like it. digging the side mount spare. where's my goggles and leather helmet?
There is something sort of like that sitting behind my favorite bakery. Been sitting on a trailer back there for quite some time. Now I'm going to have to stop and look at it.
