Ever look at a car and think, with a couple small changes, that would make a good looking hot rod?

put this nose on a 38 Ford

Keep the Ford's headlights

Just an idea

some things that caught my eye at the Coronado Main Street annual car show today

these stickers have me wondering why the highway patrol was inspecting cars, and when they stopped that.

interesting woody that has the main structure pieces, but not the panels. It's also the most square Chrysler I can recall seeing

I find it odd that a black and white Charger has a dark forest green vinyl top

Sure seems like a simple dashboard for a Cadillac

The Chrysler Airflow, so far ahead of it's time, and stylistically different, and frought with defects, it didn't sell, and cost the company money in the midst of the depression

Chrysler engineers Fred Zeder and Owen Skelton, began a series of wind tunnel tests, with the cooperation of Orville Wright, to study which forms were the most efficient shape created by nature that could suit an automobile.

The early Airflows arriving at dealerships suffered from significant problems, mostly the result of faulty manufacturing. According to Fred Breer, son of Chrysler Engineer Carl Breer, the first 2,000 to 3,000 Airflows to leave the factory had major defects, including engines breaking loose from their mountings at 80 mph

Chrysler finally gave up, and the 1934 -1937 run was all they could do.

A variety of shapes, colors, and abstract details that caught my eye at the Palos Verdes Concours

I've never noticed before that an Airflow had a specific coachbuilders badge

terrific art deco side mirror, from the era of sidemounted spares and headlights on cross bars, before the 1936-37 trend change to fender mounted headlights, and spares in the trunks.

Chrysler Airflow was a unexpected show up at Spring Fling
