As Dolly would say "it takes an awful lot of work to looks this trashy". The front looks like a Checz car called Tatra. Tatra has/had a neat smallish air cooled flat head V-8.
Now that y'all have trashed it, I'll just say I like it. It's not a traditional rod (I do run a chopped Model A) but remembering the 50's were all about jet and rocket styling but not too far from the confused early 50's, it works as an early 50's extreme design. From the lines and symmetry, somebody did give some thought to what they created, and obviously, Bondo or not, somebody flowed that big round nose into sweeping fines and exhausts. The 50's were a big transition form big round (and ugly) to the designs we all think are cool. Look at the change in one year from the '54 to the '55 Chevy. Sell it to me,cheap!

Hey, you found it!!! I think that's the car my blind uncle built! No, wait a minute. He said he painted his blue. Sorry.
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING ONLY I DO NOT.. WILL NOT SAVE IMAGES LIKE THIS ON MY PC. NOT THAT THERE IS ANY THING WRONG WITH THAT
Hasn't there been about 3 different threads on this? Also, this has been on eBay at least once (that's were the pre-restoration pictures are from).
This is the perfect way to keep your teenager in line; straighten yourself up or I'll drive you to school in this and drop you right at the front door in front of all your friends!
