okay, I know I was not dreaming...can some car trivia gurus help me out here?
late last Sunday evening, farting around on ebay motors I came across a high class listing from some high class dealer showcasing a one of five cars produced in 53 or 54. To me the body reminded me of a 55 Chrysler 300 with Italian influences. High quality fiberglass construction, Mercury frame, and Lincoln OHV v-8 power. The constructor had dreams of production but quickly found out that it pretty much cost as much to build them as he could sell them for. The particular one listed had cool side exhaust exits through the body work and had a tan interior that looked much more like it belonged in and early 60's DB Aston Martin coupe than a 53 car. I found it interesting that the builder used '53 STUDEBAKER headlight rings. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the car and I wanted to do some research on it. Tried searching ebay motors and google in general to no avail. Anyone have any recollection about this car? thanks, Junior
