It's a 1939 ORWHAT with body by Foney & Flashy!! <G> "jes kiddin'. I think it's a fictitious custom.

I was looking on google and found something about '38 ford.

Real '38 Ford:

What do you think?

Looosely based on the '38 Ford Coupe. Loooooooosely.

[Jon Cole]

As stated, the front has 38 Ford traits. I see cues of a Bugatti Atlantic in the body

Hey All,

Why don't we ask Jairus what it is.

If I'm not mistaken he is the artist behind that little

sweety.

I've used that little kit for parts and as the basis

of a couple of custom rods.

It's pure fantasy guys!

While pouring over magazines and books looking for inspiration of what to draw and send to AMT for that Snap-Fast Slammer line I saw a picture of the Aluma coupe and said that I could do something like that but cooler. The Aluma coupe, for those not in the know... , was designed by Larry Erickson and built by Boyd Coddington. It was suppose to be the final example of where the 1933 Ford 3 window coupe was progressing in smoothness, ironically not containing anything Ford in it! Well I did two such designs (Green one and Blue one, but the exact names escape me)

AMT said they LOVED the freeform designs the best because they didn't have to pay royalties to Ford, Chevrolet or Chrysler. And a lot of my designs were based heavily on cars not found in kit form. ( I was always thinking about how to get AMT to produce cool bodies we modelers didn't yet have)

The next iteration it seems would have to be something with full fenders. So I sat down with an idea in mind and sketched it out using styling cues from the late 30's Fords, Duesenberg, Hispano Suiza, Figoni & Falaschi, Delahaye and Bugatti. (with taillights from the Harley Davidson of the era)

It is all out of my head... a head boiled in images of a bygone era that is.

Here's another one:

Awesome Jairus!!! I'm planning build one Black Force and here in Brazil model cars needs a brand/model/year to contests. I'll modify somethings, put a engine, interior and others stuff and will look like a '38 ford heavily modified.

I really love your xmas sketch... door lines looks more real if compared black force door lines.Your Roadster Inspired me.

You are a great guy!!! You are really helpful!!!

Thank you very much Jairus!!Sorry for my poor english!!

I loved that line of kits, kinda would like to see Round 2 bring a few of them back, this one in particular!

Preferably in just plain white or grey plastic though

[Joker]

I got one of these kits for the wheels alone

the triple carb covers are Kool little kit bash items too.

Wish the convertible was made ..just for the sweet Duvall windshield frame
