(Cragars, flip top gas filler; etc.)

To each his / her I guess.

Hi,
Is that an actual car?
The body proportions seem to have been seriously 'massaged' which to my eye is a big part of the look.
It appears to me the body has been sectioned and the wheelbase stretched.
Maybe computer generated?
Regards,
Alan

It's a real car but the chassis is custom (Roadster Shop) as are most of the body panels ..like the wheel openings being raised etc. etc. It was built by Customs and Hot Rods of Andice. They have won the Goodguys Most Beautiful Street Rod award and finalist's for the America’s Most Beautiful Roadster award at the Grand National Roadster Show, so your probably looking at a $175,000 + car.

Hi l32,
Well!!!
That certainly explains the look!
Thanks!
Regards,
Alan

Even I could look good (or semi-good) if someone would spend $175k on me.
