I'd like to see the front of this one and the tan Chevy above should have a 302 GMC!

 

Sixball quoted from the original posters thread and I suspect you may have already checked it out...he said "I did come across a sole remaining photo my 32 Essex Coupe. I had this in 1959 or '60, was in the military, and could not keep in on base (no fenders). Olds engine, '34 Ford grille."
I hope as in so many of these glimpses into the past it may have survived.
You never know.
It is truly amazing how rare some of these glimpses are. Glad I found it to share.

34 Ford Grille on that coupe may have looked ok.
Actually the original grille was pretty stylish.



The Tan Coupe
no can find any info either...
​

 

The hood is really nice too. It is interesting that in some of the late twenties and early thirties Chevy actually out sold Ford and Essex was right in the mix. I can only guess that the massive amount os wood in the Chevy and Essex low survival rate. Maybe the high demand for Essex frames for race cars played a part too.

 

I recall my mom saying back in those days they got a lot their firewood out of old Chevys.

 

Speaking of Wood

aaah crap ! It just would NOT be the same without the tachometer !!!!!

 

Yes I agree it should come as pictured for the price...well at least if it is removed as it says, be the same tach or one of equal value. It certainly is not without a few issues as with anything.

Merry Christmas Verde

 

YES, The tach BRINGS it all together .......

Merry Christmas Everybody...

 

I'm a big fan of building cars in an era, but with a style that is your own. There are some really cool cars on here that do exactly that.

How many here know the TV show this clip is from?

 

I did a not a know that... the eager beaver awaits the answer Phat......Life of Riley? I did follow a thread on this car recently. Mixed opinions were plenty...I think its one of the coolest Hotrods I have laid eyes on...in this fendered state...I would love to watch the show. Video on this beast would be awesome.

 

I got a Hot rod Ford and two dollars bill!

 

Girls girls girls

You're correct "Life of Riley" William Bendix is the father with wrench in hand

 

Here is a screenshot from the episode the coupe was in...

 

Alot of those episodes are on youtube do you have an idea which episode it may have been?...

@Cactus I am getting the mind thing...thats the episode buddy in the roadster opens his door into that coupe. Actually it may be the other way around...
I may have posted the video link
to boot...
Hey can't see enough of these cool rods anyways. Thanks everyone...

 

Yeah that's the one. Dad sells the roadster to the scrapper and has to buy it back!

 

Hey Rat...I think I have a pic of that hotrod without the female adornment...I will post it up when I get home.

 

I would love to see that, despite I like the picture, as is.

That's a very nice girl, she might have been famous.
I've seen a lot of modern pictures of young female stars getting out of cars, and I still like this one the best!

 

They must have used that butt as a template for the door cutout........perfection.
Never gets old!

 

Sorry All...false alarm...similar template no doubt used in the curvy area but not the same ride. Neat old oddball hotrod however...
Your right Volvo that photographer really captured so much with that pic...
Eyeconic it is
