1948 Thames

[Old Coyote]

..... here'a a picture of "Timmy", my 1948 English Ford Thames  1/4 ct. panel van at a recent Cars and Coffee event in Kernersville, NC ....... at 7-1/2 years old he's getting a little "long in the tooth", but he still looks pretty good

I like it.  Do you have more pictures?

Your "Timmy" looks well beyond "pretty good". The color and paint looks good. Any more information you care to share ? 

[Old Coyote]

Thank you for the kind comments ...... he's powered by a '65 327 Corvette engine, "double hump" fuelie heads, Comp 270H cam and kit, Pete Jackson gear drive, Hedman headers, MSD ignition, Edelbrock intake and carburetor, and a custom shroud over the carb built by Alan Shadwick in New Zealand ...... the engine is backed up by a TurboHydro 350 with a B&M 2800 stall converter and a 9" Ford rear end with a 3.50:1 gearset ...... all the fabrication, body work and paint was done by Josh Richardson ..... and the custom upholstery was stitched by Tim Scarlett.

I like everything about it- the color, the wheels, the upholstery- I can almost hear what that engine sounds like when it gets angry.

I wouldn't call it "long in the tooth," but a tribute to a classic that still looks contemporary (and looks like a blast to drive).

I don't know what else to call it but gorgeous.
