Real untouched custom from 1955 out of storage since 1966

stuff like this is why we come here. looks like a "never lost" car for Pat G's next book.

 

cool stuff,quite a history,nice ride.

 

I love that car. Fill the back up with tools, put a hitch on it and tow my liner to Bonneville in style! just kidding.

 

I wonder if this is the same Tom Sanders my dad grew up with in Patterson. Did tom have a '58 Corvette he and his dad repaired, along with a '58 Volvo daily driver???

 

Very cool

 

Very cool

 

Thank god he saved it and didnt change a thing!

 

Thank you for posting this! Rad.

 

Cool, I love it! Way cool to see all of the provenance!

 

too cool

 

This article is so rad I had to read the whole thing again. So much documentation its un-believeable. Not many real deals like this around any more. I love the old school stuff!

 

what does gnrs stand for?

 

Grand National Roadster Show

 

Bitchin! Thanks for sharing!!!

 

I don't think that car attended the LSRU.... or did it?

 

That thing is cool!

Great to see that he held on to it all these years & is enjoying it again.

And I agree with an earlier poster, that thing is TRJ material.

 

those build photos are really cool. thanks for sharing

 

Cool to see that it hasn't been "updated". Hopefully it stays in the family and they keep it just like it is.
Perfect time machine.

 

This was the first show it was at since 1966. The guy drove to this show because he lives about 20 miles away.

 

Wow! .............I love everything about this car. The best part is that you don't see these around to often because of the low production numbers on them "3152" I believe was the amount of these made.

 

Really cooool story, love everything about this ol'Kustom, love them 41 Stude taillights also. Hope this one stays just the way it is, NO restoration PLEASE.

 

Man, what a car! Love the detailed Y-block and the righteous F/R customizing. I sure hope it's at the GNRS, as I'd like to get an eyeful of it. Thanks for the pics!

Hamber @str8 6 str8 edge has possibly all pics involved in this thread on
his blog at link above. He could rebuild this thread but it involves a fair bit of work.
I threw a couple of pics up as I was wondering what it was.
