Default Hunting down a old hot rod...

Hunting a car for a friend, his grand father's car was sold to someone in omaha ne in 1953, no vin to track down... some details that might help to recognize it, 34, filled roof, Bonneville style chop and the upper hinge was left on door, smooth hood sides, and driver side antenna, was green in color, believed to have been sold to a gentle that owner a garage. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks...

"smooth hood sides" - It must have been a hot runner. Did it have a flathead V8?...

There are often threads on the HAMB to find cars. You may have some luck there.
