We have a car in the shop. No idea what it is or any of the history behind it. Any ideas?

Email me at Joe @ MichiganClassics.com if you have any leads or information.

Thanks in advance

Looks similar to an old 1930's Delahaye.

Obviously the '36 Ford Grille and dual master were added if it was anything originally..
It resembles the '40/41 Chrysler Newport/Pacecar Phaetons...perhaps someone's unfinished home-made version w/ a dorsal fin added!.

Those front fenders w/ the lower reliefs are unique and should be indentifiable?.
Nice touch w/ the spiderweb on the glovebox door...maybe an old movie car or something that's never been more than a roller?.

'35-'36 Auburn front fenders? '39 Lincoln Zephyr rear body? Definitely a '36 Ford grille.

------Theres some stuff mixed in there as well off a Buick, I think. The dash looks like late 30s early 40s Buick with mods. Ford front wheel may speak to what started life as a Ford frame, but who the he// knows. Front suspension is totally Ford. Where do you start on that one???.......Bill S

Damn I knew the dorsel fin was making a comeback!!

Someone very creative with the torch from the looks of it. Sadly another great plan goes unfinished. We actually drove the cardboard car this summer. Still looking for a tinsmith to make the body for less than a million dollars.
homemade car
