Description
I learned of this Memorial Day car show through a Denver, Colorado Meet-Up. It is a twice per year event promoted by Street Rodders For Life that raises funds for various causes. I went, not knowing quite what to expect, but was blown away at what I discovered. There were 4+ parking lots filled with hundreds of vintage and antique cars - mainly from the 1950s and earlier.
I am afraid I failed to get the make, model, or year for this crazy cool car, so if you know what it is I implore you to please let me know. I've never seen anything quite like it but I am leaning toward 1940s Dodge.
After posting this image I got an email from a fellow FAA artist named Frank J. Benz who shared the following information with me. Thank you so much Frank!
"The vehicle is a very nice looking 1937 Ford Coupe and most likely started life as a three window model instead of the five window business style vehicles. Most of the time when they are customized the roofs are chopped down just a few inches all the way to the extreme which makes them very very low indeed."
