Saw this picture and I'm wondering what year is this? I think it's a Cadillac but in not sure what year, I don't know Cadillacs very well, so I was hoping someone could tell me. Thanks Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Cadillac does not have fins before 1948, and this car can be older than that But it could be a Chevy or some other car , but i think its a GM car atleast. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Late 40s style full custom. Chopped top, dechromed, lowered, trunk corners rounded, tail lights in bumper overriders all point to this. Was probably a 46 - 48 Chev coupe to start with.
I don't know which specific make, but I will say GM product and it's definetely 1946-1948 becuase the earlier years don't have front fenders that extend on to the doors.
Agreed. If you look close you will see the external trunk lid hinges. That is a 46-48 Chevrolet feature I believe. I don't recall any other GM having those. Although they could have been added. It seems most customizers were taking off, not adding Chrome. Bumper over ride tailights was a late 40's era custom favorite. Here is a pic of some on a 41 Merc. Pic is curtesey of Rik Hoving's CCC site. Torchie.
its a chevy guys...external trunk hinges,front fenders extending into the doors, yada yada yada lol don't let the rounded trunk corners throw ya
They all, 46-8 GM coupes, had fenders extending in the door and strap hinges on the trunk, the hinges go back pre war. The biggest clue that it might be a chevy is the bumper. Each GM model had its own, that one appears to be Chevy, at least it's the same as on my '48 coupe. 'Course it could have been changed too.
I believe that is Tim Sutton's car. Build thread here: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=829516&highlight=tim+sutton
2014 trying to be 50 anyway you slice it its mine and started life as a 46-8 chevy it aint one now , more like a GM dream car . all the 46-8 gm were about the same bodies… yep mine
It's a custom so identifying the correct year is nearly impossible. Unless you happen to know the builder, it's just a guestimation on the exact year. A lot of work went into this car so you could not identify the year. The wide hood makes me think it is an early 50s car. Chevys and Fords had narrow pointed hoods at the front.
The owner identified it in post #18 ('46-'48 Chevy) Here's his build thread http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/sutton-coupe-40-s-chevy.829516/
That is definitely 42-48 GM I would say chevy coupe. Lets move on Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
