[Iron Mike]

Yes, you read that right, there's a new hobby shop in good ol' Spartanburg, SC! Chuck and Doreen Cox have partnered with the fine folks at Mason's Hot Rod Shop to offer a full line of plastic models, supplies and R/C cars.

In addition to the hobby shop, check out some of the things you'll find on the showroom floor.

When was the last time you were up close and personal with a real SOHC motor?

Quick change, anyone?

Small block Ford.

Flathead parts!!

Fire up the grille!

Chris, Doreen and Chuck at the counter.

I'm thinking a Nash of some sort.

Looks good, hope to get up there sometime.

Mason's where the hot rods seem so real

Thanks for posting Mike . Good to see someone try to start a hobby shop .

Good try , but both are wrong answers . :idonno

By the way, he told us that he wishes someone would come up with the money to restore it. Just in case it strikes your fancy .

We have seen pictures of the original car . It was very cool.

Cheers, Christian B)

That is Model A's pretty, younger sister a 1932 Ford. Dang close, Ford A passenger cars have a nickle radiator shell, its the easiest way to tell on stock versions. :drinks


If I walked into that shop I would have thought I just died :yipee

Sorry Bob but there is not a simple way to tell you what it is. I have slept too many times since hearing the story .
We're gonna try to get a good explanation from the owner and possibly a picture of the original ( maybe ).

Cheers, Christian B)

Well Packard had doors like that in 1941, but the hood is like a Hudson

Now my next guess will be -

1946 Packard Clipper :idonno

This is driving me a little crazy :gogo

It looked to me like it has a European kinda look, thought it might be a Morris or an Austin based on that grill but it looks too large. That "V" notch in the door is quite distinctive. I thought I had seen something like that before but am coming up short.

I'm thinking its an obscure manufacturer, American or European, no longer in business or a one off.....


Very mysterious!!!

:hmmm
