Is it a factory protoype for the model T ?? Just asking !! smile

SKAR · PETERBOROUGH, ONT

Mine wasn't a custom but a prototype by a large company for another. It was built by Porsche for Studebaker and was Porsches first 4 door car, not the Panamera as most believe.

In case anyone wondered...

DavyJ · NIAGARA REGION, ONT

Hey, was that Chevy the Moonglow? also if you go on Facebook, Steve Scott, builder of the Uncertain T is 70 today, he is trying to convince the current owner of the car to restore it, or sell it back to him....................

sasquatch · NORTH BAY, ONT

Ok, a Southern Ontario truck, but by whom, and where?

flatblack55delivery · PORT HOPE, ONT

Wasn't that just in some print recently.Read something about someone finding it a the Waterdown swapmeet.I don't know the name but when I was a kid I remember building a model of a rod by Linburg that looked lot like it .As a mater of fact I still have peices of the Uncertin T and built the Ala Cart and LilCoffin over and over many times.Still have mavy of the models I built as a kid .Brush paint too much glue and use every part in the box.When I see them it always brings back the memories of little books and model cars.

fatstax · COBOURG, ONT

omg i hope you realize what you have spawned, flatblack has literally lived through the eras of custom cars and has lived to tell about it. he posses model kits of pretty much every custom car ever made. he has the munsters locked down hard core and every style going after that. jump in anytime ed, im just turning the soil for you. this is like the time cliff clavin from cheers got on jeprody and every topic was things he knew.

Jeff Norwell

The Porsche/ STudebaker I posted was called a Type 542

SKAR · PETERBOROUGH, ONT

I know what the blue car is, not by having knowledge of the era but of knowing how to use the internet to my advantage.

I couldn't imagine if the bubble lifted while moving..

flatblack55delivery · PORT HOPE, ONT

Hey Fatstax you think I'm old ,did you know there is a guy on this site who is going to be ,according to the birthday list anyway,113yrs old this month.According to a rumour ,that I just made up,he taught Henry Ford to drive and George Barris to weld. Ed

DingDingDing we have a winner,2 actually because Mike did get the builder. Ed

workin class · FINCH, ONT

This car went by two different names and has been credited with two different build shops. This pic is before it became immortalized. Whats the name of the car and who built this first version?
