Just a thought, I was wondering what's the earliest period 'cutomized' car on the site? (by period I mean customized actually in the time of the film, Not a film made in 2008 with a custom ford model T from 1915.! ![]() I would think this Lincoln is quite early for a modified/custom road car? (..not racing either.! ![]() -- Last edit: 2008-05-21 10:36:41 |

Thanks alot Chris40 ![]() and according to what he's written, much of the credit for these 'custom' cars would go to Carson Top Shop in LA (they were doing custom work in the late 30's) I'll have to get this book for a proper read. Cheers |
