| "The VIN on registration is that of a 1952 Hudson
Commodore inline 8. The hole in the modified firewall
appears to accommodate exactly
this engine, set so far back and to the right that the glove box was
altered to allow the engine to snug up to the inside of the
dash."

| "The owner on the registration was a 19 year old
who lived in LA and would have had very little money (now
deceased), so I assume the
car was bought or given to him in this condition.
The plate is
a 1956 black on yellow, not a 1947 black on yellow, which would
have been the plate if registered in California in 1950. Could
have been an out of state car, a car raced and not registered, or they
gave new plates every time some new owner registered a car." |
"The sticker on the dash, attached, may be a clue. Either a
car club, or as it appears, a jalopy racing club. The car
does appear to have
been set for circle track style racing, however, the aluminum
body panels have never been hit, no dents whatsoever. The
would seem to indicate it was NOT jalopy raced."
