Car Photo of the Day: You don’t see these every day!

Name this car.

I encountered this car in a parking lot in La Canada, California as we departed on the return trip northwards back home on our Father-Son road trip last summer. I don’t think I posted it, or made any reference to it at the time, so it is a newcomer here on the web site. In fact I’ve never seen one of these before or since… it is that rare a car.

Larry Wade was with us at the time, so he’s disqualified from guessing the car as he’s seen it!

  1. Good guess drooartz! You are right. To get a little finer it actually looks like a mid years 1800S (65-69) based on the top gas filler and chrome dash. The thing that makes these rare is that they were never made by the factory. There were a few small coachbuilders (i.e. Volvoville in the NE) that performed the conversion. They can be quite pretty, but the conversion did take quite a toll on the feel of the car.

    Cheers,
