Was that thing listed in eBay a while ago? If so,it is definitely different. You'd have to see it first,and while it may have been something once,keep in mind what scrap is going for today. Hank

In the '40s and early '50s there was a trend to take old sedans and section the heck out of them, move the roof panel back to be the rear deck, swap stuff around (often from other cars), and make a "sports roadster" out of it that may have only resembled the original donor car in the grille area. The cut down doorway was a common theme. The "fad" drew enough attention that Popular Mechanics even had a how-to article in an early '50s issue.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
