The front end looks like a Studebaker.. Not sure of the year however, 59-60-61...

[Mo Lee]

Looks like a 64-66 Chev PU cab, maybe a 59 Buick rear end and the front end I'm thinking around 59 Dodge.

[Spyderjockey]

Looks like a Chrysler product to me, but just cannot remember which make or model it was! Maybe 1961 Chrysler 300??

[Fluffy]

Was it an Edsel?

[mwkess]

Definitely a Chrysler product. Maybe an Imperial around 1958-59.

[Kungfuspyder]

Lincoln continental, I saw one yesterday at a Country Store in Beaumont, MS. The movie Second Hand Lions kin folks had one.

[Netminder]

Was thinking Studebaker too!

[otter28169]

Chrysler 300C?

[Chupaca]

Looks like a 1959/60 Chrysler New Yorker....:dontknow:

[WackyDan]

I also bet on Chrysler Imperial.

[Mo Lee]

I stand corrected 61 Chrysler front and maybe the same rear with different tailights, still stick with 64-66 Chev truck cab.

[Bob Denman]

(Whatever it is (or was!), I call it cool! :2thumbs:

[SpyderAnn01]

How about a Chrysler Windsor circa 1961? What do I win?

Here is a link to a picture http://flic.kr/p/8GiJ71

Now I changed my mind and think it is a 1961 DeSoto

[spyryder]

It would have started out as a 61 Chrysler. The 62's had the same front end but lost the tailfins. ;)

[Kungfuspyder]

I was wrong on the car from Second Hand Lions, it was an Chrysler Imperial, but this cool car is a 1959-60 Lincoln Continental.

[Kungfuspyder]

I was wrong on the car from Second Hand Lions, it was an Chrysler Imperial, but this cool car is a 1959-60 Lincoln Continental.

I'm probably wrong on the Lincoln, it is probably a chopped up 1961-2 Chrysler Newport.

[retread]

Roof line looks like a Ranchero, '57 or '58, with early '60s Chrysler front and rear sheet metal. Oh yeah, and a HEMI.

[BajaRon]

61 Chrysler 300G and who knows what else... Could be a pickup in there somewhere because the cabin area is not right for the sedan. Maybe a 60's era Chevy cab?

[james danny]

1964 chevy truck

[coz]

nash ?

[Bandit]

I believe it is a 1962 Chrysler 300. My Dad had one! Sport Coupe, Black with Red interior & fast!!:doorag:

[ARtraveler]

Based on the grill and headlight configuration--I am voting with those who say Chrysler and probably the 300 model.

[otter28169]

Hopefully if it is the chrysler 300 it is the "C". Because that model came with the hemi :thumbup:

Studebaker.....Mike

[BajaRon]

Studebaker.....Mike

I don't think either the Studebaker or the Lincoln had the slanted headlights. Seems to me the Lincoln dual headlights were stacked vertically in the earlier years and I'm not sure Studebaker made a dual headlight car.

[BajaRon]

I don't think it is a Lincoln either, but they did have slanted headlights.

Ok, you're right, they did have slanted HL's on the Linsoln. It's the grill on the subject picture that says it's a Chrysler. And the Edsel had horizontal dual headlights, if I remember correctly.

[Motorcycledave]

Only one of you have it... it is not a Studeabaker,or a Lincoln,

[spyryder]

It IS a '61 New Yorker with '61 Dodge Polara taillights grafted in....and a 64-66 chev pickup roof

[Motorcycledave]

it says Freek Show.... think Frankenstine many many parts to make one

[spyryder]

For sure.....the back is '57 Chrysler Imperial but the tailfins are from the '61 New Yorker

[granpa in Cincy]

'61 DeSoto

[Motorcycledave]

The main vehicle is NOT a Mopar it is still visable :hun:

[effgjamis]

An ole kelvinator... ( NASH ) :clap:

[Noral]

Looks like the one Johnney Cash built.:roflblack: When he worked in Detroit. 1 piece at a time.

[duneside]

john

:agree: First thing I thought when I seen it. The Ranchero part.

[Motorcycledave]

1961 Chrysler front grill and lights, the trunk lid only is from a Chrysler Imperial your right about the tail lights
BUT can anyone guess what he started out with,:hun:look close at the main body and body lines they are still there.
This is a real car guy puzzle. :banghead:

[Mo Lee]

I'm still sticking with 64-66 Chev or GMC pickup.

[Boriken]

'57 Fury?

[2NFrnt]

I'm still sticking with 64-66 Chev or GMC pickup.

:agree: with Mo Lee on this one.

EVERYONE had great Guesses.... But the winner is
Mo Lee !!!!!!!!!
He was correct right of the bat it started with a 1964 Cheve PU
and went on from there. Lots of Mopar stuff people guessed and plenty they didn't
Glad you all had fun with this one.
I will post more of this type stuff a little later if you want me to.

DaveThanks, but I had an advantage since I've owned this one since 1977 and have redone the body and paint myself at least 3 times.

[xpbqn]

Looks like a 1959 Malibu
