Car Photo Of The Day
I’ve seen cars lowered. I’ve seen cars widened.
This is the first one I’ve ever seen condensed.
Anyone know what it is? Or was?

I’m guessing you’re seeing a sad old English Ford (Anglia?) or similar at its natural width, though it is suffering from a forced union with someone crude and American. I guess I should be mildly thankful it’s not a “rat rod” but still, after you’ve seen the 20th one of these, they hardly seem like a “unique” or “personalized” “custom”. Heck, you’d be making more of a statement driving an unadulterated original, though, of course, you also wouldn’t be on the interstate.

I meant “something,” though “someone” may be equally apt!

yup - natural width indeed… one of those old classic ’small’ English Fords I grew up around… 50’s Anglia is correct I think… Prefect was a similar thing with lights faired into the guards. Later 60’s Anglia was very different looking car with an unusual reverse sloping rear window - a couple of those still running round locally here.

That is a Ford Anglia. Introduced in 1939-40 and from 45-53, when it had become hopelessly outdated. I doubt this one still retains its original 1200 cc engine.
