The One

This past Saturday, I went[SIZE=+0] with a friend to look at a car... [SIZE=+0]n[/SIZE]ot any car, but possibly his “dream car”. [SIZE=+0]T[/SIZE]he seller was not digitally enabled so we had no pictures to go by... just a story and a handful of wish. [/SIZE]


Anyhow, we lit off with hopes of ending a 3 year search and this is what we found...












Horrible pictures (due to chicken grease on my phone's camera eye) but you get the idea. Following a front suspension swap approximately 12 years ago, it was packed in an old freight van and moved with the seller to this location.

Close inspection revealed a very solid car, all steel and plastic free aside from the tail pan and last two inches of floor. So, my friend now owns his dream '37 Chevy Coupe and I couldn't be happier for him. He also got some old snapshots, here's a couple...





Dig those Biscuit tail lights.

And for you Ford muscle fans. The seller had some other cars, but I only shot this one with his permission... again with greasy eye...

Good finally came to your friend for his persistence

Looks like 65 Chevy tail lamps.....cool ....

Dream car.....how cool is that....actually to find what he wanted.....nice mustang but not my cup of tea.....unless it was given to me....then I'd sell it to buy me a Pontiac or if all else fails..a chevy....

We have Chevriacs if you're lookin' Sarge.

'65 Chevy lights. You say Biscayne, I say Biscuit. My buddy hates 'em and they're first to go!

OK.....Biscuit.....never heard that before...

Must be a Canadian thing....lol....oh I don't think they look cool...I was merely saying that 65 chevy taillights ARE cool... (did I pull that off??)...

Love those '37-'39 Chevys. Beautiful proportions. What are his plans for it?
We will need a build thread now of course.

His plans are... I'm not sure. It's his first rod project and he has a ton of decisions to make. He's going to build a shop first, hopefully fast and early in the spring. I'll start a thread when the car finds its new home...

Nice score.I like the mustang too.
That chicken grease sounds like a KFC lunch.Delicious[dr

What a beautiful car.

Great find![cl Those tail lights have got to go ASAP Please!
Love 37s, if I ever get to finish the 52 a 37 is on my list of must haves, sure looks like a fantastic starting point which ever way he goes keep us posted.
Here is my dream for one.

That's a cool ride there Doc. Glad the wait paid off for your friend. But, those tail lights . . . . . they gots 'ta go!
