    Gangster theme???

     



    So far I have had several people call my car a gangster car. They say it reminds them of the cars g-men used in their hayday. Do you think I should run with this? Like get some old dummy machine guns that they used in that era and place them in the car. And maybe get a personalized state tag that says "gangster". And last shoot a few holes throught the car......LOL....j/k. Any other ideas??

    Ya get some dummies and dress them up like a couple of Mug's from the 30's. Sit them in the back seat like your driving Big Al around town. Oh ya, don't forget the scar on his face.

    Yeah man the idea with dressing like mobs up or something would be sweet. Don't forget the alcohol barrels in the back that stick up through the back window as well. lol That would be sweet man. You got a good looking car there by the way too.

    Just to let you know there's hardly anything new under the sun, back in '69 I had a '36 Ford sedan that I left parked in Mom's driveway while I finished up my hitch. Several of her neighbors "commented" about the "gangster car" in the drive. But then I had the '39 Chev gasser in the garage too, and they didn't care much for the open header thing when I was tuning it either.

    If it makes ya grin, run with it!! Just don't put those dumb little cryin' kids things leanin' on the grille or whatever. The only place I've seen those that made sense was UNDER the tire.

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

    You'd need black paint to be a gangster. I'd put flames on it so people will think "hot rod" instead of "gangster"

    Hey Bob, How 'bout this one? You like it a little better?

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
