Harry P. Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 There should be a prize for anyone who can name all the different car makes of the parts used on this one!
Joe Handley Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 There should be a prize for anyone who can name all the different car makes of the parts used on this one! Well, so far I see Ford Ranger (which might be what it is), Nash and Chevy. Not sure on the quarters/bedsides, but I swear that roof is some sort truck hood.
Crazy Ed Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Bondo? Heck it looks like he used Plaster of Paris and a Trowel.
Mike Kucaba Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I'd say the base is chevy S-10 beyond that.....
gardnerpag44 Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Tail fins are 61 Chrysler I believe and top is a 64-65 International hood .
slusher Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 There is a ton of bondo on those fins.Yea, a good pothole and it could fall out...
JohnU Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I could be wrong but it looks like you would have to roll the windows down to be able to open the doors!
Harry P. Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Anyone notice that the rear window is actually a '50s-era windshield?
Lunajammer Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 My favorite isolated part has to be the little stainless piece behind the hood. Sets off the whole car.

I don't think most of them are from this planet. My favorite isolated part has to be the little stainless piece behind the hood. Sets off the whole car. Maybe you're right--maybe that's the detonator button!
charlie8575 Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 A Collectible Automobilie car puzzle come to life! Fins look like an Imperial. Early Rambler front clip. I agree about the Ranger doors. Could it be a Ranger under all that mess? Charlie Larkin

Could it be a Ranger under all that mess? Charlie Larkin It does have I beams and a ranger wheel on the front but looks like a GM wheel on the back...
Snake45 Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 It does have I beams and a ranger wheel on the front but looks like a GM wheel on the back...That can't be a Chevy Rally Wheel...can it?
slusher Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 That can't be a Chevy Rally Wheel...can it? That's what i was thinking...
Joe Handley Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 That's what i was thinking...It's definitely a Ranger, but I'm not sure if you can get the Rally's in a 4.5"x5 bolt patter or if the "builder" would have swapped a whole GM rear axle in it just to fit the Rally wheels. Considering the rest of the work on that....thing, I can see the "builder" doing that.It does have I beams and a ranger wheel on the front but looks like a GM wheel on the back...That can't be a Chevy Rally Wheel...can it?
Danny Lectro Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Anyone notice that the rear window is actually a '50s-era windshield?It was the second thing I noticed, right after the fins. It had me wondering which end of the vehicle was supposed to be the front, until I noticed the orientation of the door.
