Recently I acquired this mostly complete build....It's a 1928 Ford "streamliner". 28' chassis, 39 juicer brakes, 36 flathead v8 (sounds awesome but 1936 power vs. any modern hot rod take a little getting used to). I love this thing!

Unique for sure!! I think it's very cool!
Yeah, it's got that down pretty well. :D
Gotta love the riveted panels and the well done wood spars inside plus the high rear light that could be a 3rd brake light (if it's not already). It oozes cool!
Yeah the gentleman who did the work definitely spent a LOT of hours on this thing. I have into it what the parts are worth only, which I feel great about! :)
Wowzer Zowzer!
This is beyond cool - looks like it could be from Mad Max or Buck Rogers. Very unique and I'll bet it would stop traffic (if you could get it license for the street). I know it's tacky to ask (and I'll completely understand if you tell me to MYOB) - but how much did you have to part with for this little guy?

9k. Found it in FB marketplace a couple of months ago...Receipts and documentation for everything....very detailed. The guy was moving to AZ from Oregon and was one of those "everything must go" sales. Perfect timing!Quote:

Huge cool points. Needs to get street legal and hit the cruise.
Any plans to polish the aluminum? ;)

C'mon Bonneville speedweeks................
That is very cool! I'm sure what you have into it couldn't even build the body on it today! Very nice find.

Oh yeah - polish that bad boy up and get it licensed for the street - what a show stopper that would be.Quote:

I'm not sure the car would be "right" with anything but a flatty for power, though! I suppose one could look around for one of the Lincoln Flatty's and maybe watch the ads for a Scot's blower and.............
I'm thinking a big clock key mounted on the back (billet aluminum from Dave K.) of the car is what it needs for your next monthly cruise in

We did that to a daily driver many years ago.
Made a couple of brackets out of scrap I had lying around, mounted an electric windscreen wiper motor to it, attached it all to the inside of the trunk lid, which I'd cut a hole through, attached a plywood and aluminium key to it, wired it into the electrics, so when the ignition was on the key rotated.
Got a lot of funny looks. :HMMM: :HMMM:
That's a "bug" thing. This critter is too cool for school.
That’s really cool! Don’t think I’ve ever seen one like that.
