Welcome to the H.A.M.B. , nice shoebox

 

Welcome, I too am new to H.A.M.B. great site, noticed your projects, I've done a few of these to say the least. I've got quite a collection of misc. 57 parts 4 sale, should you be looking for a certain something, let me know, I'd be glad to help.

 

Hey guys,

Relative newbie here again. Can you explain to me why a '57 Chevy, complete with fins, would be called a shoebox? I thought a true shoebox was a '49/50 Ford. Just curious.

 

Welcome To Hamb, It's A Cool Site ! What Kind Of Pontiac's ?

 

my pontiacs are a 68 tempest and a 72 ventura and a 57 chevy 2door wagon.

 

The 49/50 fords were the original "shoebox",then it seemed anything with a big frontal area was refered to this way,after the introduction of pro mod drag cars.

 

Thanx, 29. Hmmm. Interesting. Kinda strange evolution, eh? If anything, I think the Fords earned the term from their squarish greenhouse and rear end, in particular; the front end, not so much. (But then I'm the design nut.) Ah well. As they say, usage is king....
