Super Modifieds @ Beech Ridge Speedway, Maine

Maineboy:
Posting this for reference but also to as for ideas on what the body may have been built from. I will post more pics of cars from this track and era, just to put up some possible model building ideas.


Don't know car owner or driver.

David Bogard:
I am not at all sure what the lower half is but the top might have come from a 1949-52 Chevy Fleetline. Another choice might be the 1946-48 Chevy Fleetline but since there were so many more of the later model years sold and they were about 3 inches narrower I would tend to go that way. Whatever it was, it was shortened considerably. All of this is just a guess on my part.

Olderndirt:
 I’m gonna guess it was built from a Henry J body.

David Bogard:
The top from the Henry J is a good call and it might be that.

 :)  Makes me wonder if he had to lean forward to drive it.
