this out? Any build tags?"

Its a one owner car. In 1956, according to family, he had it customized into what you see. The ID plate indicates its a 51 2 dr Concord fastback. When I bought it I thought I had a modified Burb. The entire back from rear of door to taillights is custom made. The motor was changed to a 55 L head. with a 3 speed OD trans. He added coil springs over the rear axle to increase carrying capacity. I was told he used it to haul walnuts to the farmers market. After he died it sat in his barn for a long time until the family deciided to sell.

 

The tail lights look '50 Pontiac. What are the back-up lights, '51 ford?

 

Bonus dias. I'm in Santa Maria. Small world eh...

 

Thats right, but I can't make out the backups. They might be front turn signals off something. Side trim looks like 57 Chevy?

 

have to say, i dig the low bed too.

 

Yeah, and I like the olds flipper hub caps, piecut hood, spot lights and sun visor! ..oh, and the rear fender skirts too!...and the DeSoto grille teeth..and....

 

Go look at the Wes Cerny customs thread. He chopped a wagon a long time ago. I think you're on the right track, man

cp

 

Chili, I can't get a hit in searches. Whats his user name?

 

The backup lights look like 1955-1960 Dodge Pickup turnsignal lights.

 

Ah Ha, now I have to go find an old Dodge trk to check it. Those are hard to find around here.

 

I like the first photo shop.looks cool without looking over done.

 

I made my 4 door Frazer into a truck and cut the roof off of it... Hindsite is 20/20 I would leave the roof intact. I like the way it looks in the 2nd pic.

 

that's GEORGE Cerny you guys! He did a suburban with a chop in the '50's, olds or cad motor in it. yellow and purple in one phase.
