When/if I get into something like this, I hope for some serious photoshop help from this place!
-
Imagine a Camino with that sloping rear pillar and backlight, or an SD with the same rear roofline...
-
You still have that Starlet, Fog?!! As for trucks, by the time I finish Mothertruck, the Blazer, and Project Camino, I will have had my fill, I think.
-
I think that for a phantom Camino or SD, I'd have to start with a bubbletop coupe, and the same year wagon.
-
I know that car! It is flat out gorgeous in person! I'd bet that a '59 Camino roof would get the job done, but it would lose the bubbletop look.
-
The trouble is that many of the ideas I like best involve cannibalizing a rare vehicle. I might have to get more creative to avoid that.
-
I'm fine with most of the car ending up custom, but I'd like the body itself to look factory enough to make people scratch their heads and ask, " did they build those?"
-
Lots of variables to that, I'd have to choose carefully. The more pieces I can source from a given platform, the easier it will be to do.
-
Since '59 Buicks have a special status around here, what about a '59 Buick Sedan Delivery as a phantom?
-
I like that idea too.
-
The idea of some type of phantom based on a bubbletop is working for me.
-
I think I'd like a very factory-looking bodystyle that never was..
-
Saw one on Speed that was converted to an El Camino - very clean conversion.
-
Unsure. I just know that I want to have the project firmly in mind before finding the project car this time around. This is just a brainstorming session, really.
-
Bubbletop styling on a 2-door wagon or SD...
-
I really like the bubbletops, but I want to see wagons of that era.
-
Can't wait to see that one!
-
Did the BOP divisions have 2-door wagons in the '61-'63 years?
-
The El Catalina tells me that my Pontiac idea won't fly, I don't care for that styling.
-
Understood. I will have to decide just how far to venture out of my comfort zone.
-
Seen 'em and like 'em, but I think I want to stay within GM.
-
Trying to stay away from Chevy...
-
Anyone got pics of fullsize '59/'60 Pontiacs handy? I have an idea...
-
Hmm, can't say I ever considered that recipe. I do think I'd like to stick to the "longer, lower, wider" era this time around. The "58 is a bit of a chunk.
-
'nother question: What sedan deliveries were still in production during any of the years from '59 to say '63ish?
