Was that the Poor Boys Hot Rods car, built by Dan Sobieski?

The "poor boy" cars were Harold Looney's. AKA/Vintique. Probably one of the finest 3 window coupes in existence. A Bargain at $75K

Hotrodded(resto style in black)with a souped up 24 stud flathead and Pines winterfront grille insert.$75 K was the opening bid.Doesn't mean it sold for that.I saw that car 20+ yrs ago in the showroom of CW Moss in Orange,CA.

People with the money get the good ones and that looks like a super one, I think it was worth it.
