Famous Quincy's Automotive parking lot.  They sponsered lots of early race cars, Craig Breedlove, Summers Bros. etc.  Wonder what the Custom 300 was getting?

Good see you Tom. My jaw hits the floor every time I see that rod.

Every time you see it? I think the only other pix I posted of it here were way back in 2012 & since I was using Photobucket then but quit them later those pix are gone.
Original'31 body with a '32 frame & grille shell/grille,'63 406, three 2 intake, 4 speed a 9" rear & a dropped oval tube '37 front axle. You hardly ever see one of those axles that have been dropped.
It's no show car just a great classic style street rod. No billet stuff, original steel & home built goodies all the way. It's been off the road for a long time & I need to remedy that. Want to change those wheels to something that look like torque Thrusts too.

 

Absolutely beautiful!
I'm not sure why, but not something I wouldn't expect to see in Alaska.

Thats probably when I saw it and I remember how it left me really being impressed .

1968 Mercury Cougar Fastback

















     "What's the deal with this one-of-none Cougar fastback? Well, it's not a concept car or a prototype that didn't make it into production. It's an enthusiast's idea of turning a rusty classic into a unique rig bound to turn heads.

     A full-blown custom project completed at a professional shop, the fastback was put together by marrying the front section of a 1968 Cougar to the rear of a 1967/1968 Mustang. It's obviously more complex than that, but the rear fenders, the trunk lid, and the roof are clearly sourced from the Cougar's Ford-badged sibling.

     The owner also points out that the roof was lowered from the original height, but it's not exactly a chopped top, so it works nicely with the sloping rear end. The Cougar rides on a set of vintage-looking 17-inch wheels (larger than the 1960s Cougar/Mustang standard), while the pearl blue paint is reportedly based on a Cougar factory color. It's similar to the Diamond Blue hue Mercury offered in 1968. "

Now that's a "better idea"! The 17"s look perfect for it.

Nicely done.

 
   A couple hood pins in front instead of a bungee to hold the hood down would be the way to go.
  The 64 is my favourite year of the 60's full size Fords.

I want to hear this one.
