Solved - NEH 2250: Early 1950's "Moon" home-built roadster with Ford flathead V8
« on: November 15, 2012, 07:11:04 AM »
I don't know a great deal about this car, nor even if the name I have for it is correct.
So where is it from and what is the name attributed to it (which may or may not be right!) - for 1 point?:

It looks like a Glasspar body, but not exactly the same as the Woodill Wildfire pics I've seen.

This has been on another website as a "Guess the car". Trouble is, I can't find the thread! I think it was a one-off using either Ford or Mercury running-gear , and the standard off-the-shelf Glaspar/Woodill body.

Welcome to Autopuzzles nicanary.
As I said at the beginning, I don't really know much about it myself, so if you can find that 'site and post what is says you should get your first point!

Remember though - using Google Search by Image is very much frowned up and is regarded as cheating here; not that you'd be tempted, I'm sure!

Found it. And NOT by google image. It was called a Moon roadster, based on a '46 Dodge chassis with a '46 Ford Flathead motor. Advertised in the Minneapolis Craigslist, located at Rice Lake, Wisconsin. Not a handsome car.
