The car started out as a 49 Ford 2 door sedan. The top was removed and a carson style removable top was built for it using white vinyl. The body was shaved of all trim and the rear antenna and headlights were frenched in. A custom floating grill was added. It has 49 plymouth ribbed bumpers and the windshield is chopped, it has led tail lights and frenched high output headlights with led turn signals in them. it has wide whitewall tires in the front with chrome reversed rims with the smoothie hubcaps. it has the long lake pipes under the rocker panels connected to the exhaust.It has hand made bubble fender skirts. The interior is custom made white vinyl with pleated seats and door panels. The carpet is black. There is an am/fm radio and a cd player in the glove compartment. I added a new sun like tachometer to the steering column and stewart warner gauges to the dash.it has the original flat head engine and a new $800 radiator. the brakes were checked and new brake shoes added to the front.The removable top has a tubular frame covered with white vinyl and has a clear plastic diamond shaped rear window. The car has been lowered all around and sprayed with red primer. There are large pin stripes on the hood and trunk lid done by flash. The car is a blast to drive and attracts big time attention where ever i drive it. It looks cool and sounds mean. I bought another car and need to sell something to pay for it. i think the car was created in the 60,s. but i am not sure
