MOPAR Custom

MOPAR Custom

Another salvage yard custom, it’s some kind of late 50s Chrysler product (edit: probably a ’59 Desoto).  This whale is parked by the old barn/workshop at the Big M.  Nosed, decked, roll panned, frenched, but painted rattle-can flat black and never finished.  I’m sure this car will one day be completed by a new owner.

1951 Studebaker Champion

1951 Studebaker Champion

Here’s the rest of that Studebaker I posted that detail from yesterday.  These should give those nose parts some context.

Spider Dodge

Spider Dodge, Spider Dodge, Does whatever a Spider Dodge Does

Scott Motors

This one’s for all the Scotts out there, you know who you are.  I rolled out to Big M Auto Salvage last night.  That’s a 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser, and the one on the left, a rare 1958 Edsel Bermuda station wagon.  They were in deep shade, ie: total darkness.  The wagon was lit with […]
