The Ford Barn

If one has to chop and 'butcher' a stock car, THIS is the way to do it ! I found the car to be a nice idea and concept, and did not stray too far from being a 1930 'Concept' car. Within the confines of cutting up a stock car, I must say I like it. However, I did find the price a bit high for the product.

Back in the late 1930s - 1940s, running clunker Model A Fords could be picked up in most areas for $15 or $20. In the 1960s, we were always stumbled across altered coupes with assorted pickup truck beds embedded or just stuck on the back. Some were tudor sedans with a homemade wooden partition installed where the rear half of the body had been eliminated to create a utility farm truck. Suppose it's rare to find some goober who actually "restored" the car into that hodge-podge configuration.

Its never so bad it can't be worse. It is obvious that some people routinely over react. He changed the original to suit himself. Not original anymore but neither is an A with directional signals, 16 inch rims, radial tires or a radio. Wayne

I don't think thats a converted coupe. Looks like someone converted a 4 door sedan to me. The quarter window looks "off" to be a coupe window.
