Re: Help me identify this car
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!. http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=ht...l%3Den%26sa%3DN 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?.  ~ Pete

Re: Help me identify this car
------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

Re: Help me identify this car
After a bit of Googling, Bill's guess for the rear fenders seems correct as more things on the car appear to be 37/38 Lincoln Zephyr..
...minus the added gauges, the dash looks exact to the Zephyr one on this page... http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=ht...l%3Den%26sa%3DN ...and the cowl looks like it has the same ribs as a Zephyr although the subject car's cowl appears to have been sectioned from the top?. http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=ht...l%3Den%26sa%3DG But those front fenders...are the lower reliefs added or in the original stampings?  . ~ Pete

Thanks in advance  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
