Stepping back to the Fifties, this real
deal 3 window coupe reminds us of simpler times when Hot
Rod's could not be built from fiberglass, internet
clicks, credit card payments and fed-x delivery. Ideas
were shared between buddies at the burger joint, small
enthusiast magazine's like Car Craft & Hot Rod slowly
spread trends across the country and unless you lived in
So Cal, most of your speed parts came mail order.
Everything was a work in progress, you twisted your own
wrenches, sprayed lacquer without a mask and spent time
with your girl showing off under the neon lights of the
local diner or cruise-in. We promise to keep it simple,
let's move along...
In true traditional 50's Hot Rod style, we bring this
you this wonderful combination of real Henry steel,
factory rails and period performance upgrades.
This incredibly solid and whistle straight original
deluxe 3 window coupe body is just that, not chopped or
filled, factory suicide doors w/exposed hinges,
beautiful flowing steel fenders, rubberized running
boards, factory louvered hood sides enhanced with period
louvered top panels, peep mirrors and bright factory
designed hardware. Professionally refinished jamb to
jamb in a deep gloss black base-coat/clear-coat and
rolling out on a set of red Steelie wheels fitted with
beauty rings, V8 center caps and period Firestone bias
ply rubber... Are you ready to look under the hood and
learn more...

block professionally assembled "Motor City Flathead"
fitted with polished aluminum Evans cylinder heads, NOS Gene Winfield Super 1A Grind
Camshaft, Eddie Meyer Hollywood intake manifold, dual
