Thread: Rise and fall of a great American hotrod

Tweet

Well, what's really weird is that some of the details did fit. For exemple, the way the horn and spreader bar are completely boxed on both my rod and Terry's rod. (remember that the cover was shot probably in 1972 and Terry bought that cabriolet - minus body - in 1979, so many things had changed on it already since the photo).

Also terry's roadster had a home made 1 inch squarish steel bar going under the inner lip of the dash - cursving along with the curve of the dash - AND I HAVE THE SAME BAR ON MINE. DO fiberglass bodies usually come with one?

Last but not least terry's described his steering wheel as a 54 CHEVROLET TRUCK - which is exactely what I have on my roadster - and I have not seen a steering wheel like this on any other roadsters around here... Seems an uncommon choice - so what are the odds both his and mine have it?

In short there is still a small chance that car may be my car, but I now have another lead to check, one that seems more likely. So I'll let you guys know.
