would you consider this a rat rod?

[CR55]

Man... I have a 4 door.... I didn't realize. Dang. Guess maybe I'll try my hand at sewing quilts or something.....



4 doors trying to be 2 doors are not cool. Be what you is, not what you is not.

Mine has more doors too Sam! Come on over and you and I can start a quilt while we sit in our rockers and watch the "cool" cars go by my front porch!.[P.....CR

OK START UP THE WAYBACK MACHINE[P 1977, 30 ESSEX COUPE ON A 55 CHEVY FRAME 283 POWERGLIDE MADE FROM JUNKYARD PARTS{IN PRIMER }SO WHAT DO YOU CALL IT

 

[workin class]

huh?[S

 

[bob w]

brad, back in 1977, in this area, we would have called it a "pile". Today, it's a rat rod. Depending on how safely it was built, it could be a decent rat rod or a junk rod.

Kinda like people who have 4 door cars, they really want them to be cool, but they just never will.

i have a 53 chevy 4 door and i love that thing, i think its cool as fu*k and i dont care if any one else thinks its cool or not(btw every one i see when im driving it tells me its cool lol)
and my buddy has a 54 chrysler new yorker 4 door and that thing is bad A$$.
any car can be made to look awsome it just takes some creativity and imagination
thats just like people who talk crap about fiberglass cars. who cares if its fiberglass and not original...
so if i have a 4 door can i come hang out with you guys on the porch CR55 and sam lol it seems i dont fit in with the cool crowd sence my car has too many doors on it lol

whatever you call it, a wagon has never been cool. Kinda like people who have 4 door cars, they really want them to be cool, but they just never will.

how has the wagon never been cool i would love to have a 64 Chevelle wagon to go with my 64 Elcamino and some four doors are cool

Speaking of 4 doors, here's my son's chopped '49 Plymouth 4 door. I think it's pretty cool. It was chopped in 1967. BTW, the wheels have been changed since this pic was taken.

schine, I like that wagon a lot. If it was for sale locally, I'd be very tempted. Don't let the fact that it is a wagon stop you.

Theres a four door pic thread under the rat rod photo title.

 

[Shea Laking]

well, so my stepdad came, and so he told me that his friend has a rat, so i was exited, i wanted to go and take a peek at the rat,u know, expecting a z frame, low body pickuo cab with a huge v8 and a random grill or something, oh surprise, waht i found was a mid 50 4 door chevy sedan over a caprice body, and i was...disappointed to be honest, so the question is, would ya call something like that "rat rod"?

something like this, but running, is a rat rod? or they have another name?
i saw a post that called them rust runners, does anybody know something about tha?

Okay, so, just for giggles...Do any of our reallly smart car historians know what make this machine is?[S

I can usually tell by just looking at the corner of a fender, or a taillight, but this one's got me sayin' WTF!?![S My first guess would be Nash or Hudson...?

4-doors and wagons have always been cool, IMO. The next-best thing to a truck for carting around crap. Then again, I drive a minivan and I think that's cool, too!

Regards,
Shea

I believe some one said it was a saab.

 

[Sam_Fear]

I believe some one said it was a saab.

I said that it looks like a SAAB or something - meant it almost looks foriegn. Looks small. I was hoping someone would correct me. Is it a Nash?

 

[earthman]

Peugeot...French (pooh-zho) or Pug

 

[Sam_Fear]

Of course Earthman would know it! I just couldn't figure the emblems out. Peugeot 403 wagon.

Of course Earthman would know it!
