Arthur Bentas of Chelmsford, Massachusetts built a beautiful custom car during the 1950s, known as the Raven. It was built from scratch and the project actually began with a 1939 Dodge chassis and a 6-cylinder L-head engine. The windshield was also from a Dodge. The doors, hood and front fenders were courtesy of a 1954 Kaiser. A 1952 Chevrolet hood was modified to become the trunk and was given a Lasalle tire cover. The taillight rings were from a 1950 Pontiac while the taillight lenses came from a 1956 Desoto. The hardtop and dashboard were created by hand by Arthur out of fiberglass. The rear bumper came from a Kaiser and a dual exhaust system was snaked through the bumper.
