then the car was featured on the cover of rod and custom in may 1960

 

following the magazine the car was in a wreck again

 

Cool stuff. From the first wreck, it looks like someone's head got wrecked on the windshield!

 

Very Nice!!! Since I live in Oregon maybe I'll get lucky and get to see this one in person some day.

 

might be, ive tried talking to the origianl owner about what happend because the car ahs actually been wrecked 3 times with him but theres no pics of one of the wrecks. then the car was backed into right befrore my grandpa bought it the first time. im just glad the tail lights have never been hit because those are cost a small country to replace.

 

well the car was put back together again and updated. this time was addition of 60 chrysler tail lights

 

it was shown in this configuration for awhile then was sold to a new owner.

 

then the picture time line goes away for awhile then picks up when my grandpa owned the car the first time

 

my grandpa wasnt afraid either to race the old custom. he blew the doors off that turbo bird. at the time it ran a 327 with 6x2's which is what its going to have again.

 

then my grandfather sold it and the decline of the car began. the new owners nephew thought he was a customizer and basically took a torch to the car.
