OK, don't wanna sound like a "know-it-all" but --- it has a '53-'54 front end, a '56-'61 dash, a speedster roof band, the "diamond" pattern on the seat is not correct for a Speedster AND the firewall plate is not the same color as the rest of the car.
And I see no holes in the side where the "butter knife" might have been previously. All in all, it appears to me SOMEBODY had at least 3 cars they melded into one, one of which MIGHT have been a Speedster.
Plus the guy will be happy to sell you the rest of the parts to make a Speedster. How thrillingly wonderful of him! Hold me back 'cause I just GOTTA bid on this car! NOT!!!!

'Cause I'll have the only one there is around.
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it's cheaper that way
Ugh!, what model is it?
Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56
'57, '58' 59' automobile
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67
'68, '69, '70 automobile.

If you look close, there is the Lemon color showing through parts of the primer. Maybe the person was just a Cash admirer! LOL!

It is a pile of parts, but it could be an interesting car put back like it was modified at some point. I'm not sure if the roof band without the side trim would hurt the overall look or not."In the heart of Arkansas."

In any case, it looks like a fairly solid hardtop to build from, depending on his reserve of course. I thought the diamond pattern upholstery was correct for the Speedster? The ones I have seen have it. Will be interesting to see what it goes for and if it makes reserve.Pat Dilling

He has the K-7 cowl tag and says the ser no. is 7155057. If that's a Speedster ser. number, as far as I am concerned, he has a Speedster. I don't care if all he has is a radiator cap, he still has a Speedster.
But if 7155057 is not a Speedster number, then all bets are off.Jerry Forrester
