    Ditto. That's a '53 grille surround ('54 Olds grille bar), and if you're looking to compare to a stocker the quarter panel is the least modified/most distinctive tip off. Well, the hood too.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Come on guys, The man has asked a very important question about the idenity of this custom car. We as dedicated readers of this forum "OWE" anyone asking a question for a good and solid answer. So in the pursuit of that answer we have the "DUTY" to do our best for a fellow car guy. In looking at and studing the curves of this gir----- uh I mean car I have formed the opinion that if it is indeed a early chevy the one and only way to correctly indentify it as such is to get a better shot of the rear of the front wheel well. I have come to the comclusion that this is the best way to tell what it really is. If we could get the dude taking the picture to move a few feet to his right and lower the camera some and shot the rear part of that wheel well we have our answer. The model certainly wouldn't hinder this shot at all so he should leave her right were she is for this critical and revealing photo.

    Protected people will never know or understand the intensity life can be lived at. To do that you must complettly and totally understand the meaning of the word "DUCK"

    OK hombre I found a front angle that might help clarify the situation a little with a clearer shot
