Won AMBR twice..

 

Hello,

From its humble beginnings with several different owners, Bruce Carmen was the third owner and first to use a DeSoto. It was a regular at Vic Hubbard’s Speed Shop along with the Forsberg Brothers and their racing machines.

Note: The chopped Model A Altered Sedan Delivery sold in 1982 and the new owners, Norris Brothers were now caretakers of a little history from Northern California.

The most difficult one I drew was a version of the famous “Bread Truck” from the Vic Hubbard stables. But, afterwards, since I have been in many different hot rods, from a 34 coupe, 32 roadster to the series of 55 -57 Chevy sedans and 1950 Oldsmobile coupe, I actually preferred driving around in the non-chopped sedan. Like the tow car …

The chopped “Bread Truck” despite the lowered top would have been interesting to drive in compe***ion and not have to worry about seeing what is all around the race car if it was a street driven hot rod. Sedan delivery builds are notorious about blocked vision around the rear area of the car/truck/van… YRMV

NOTE: For the Bread Truck and its early history came to a halt in a m***ive warehouse fire. A piece of Northern California history went up in flames…
