I need one of those jumps seats for my 53. but that much pitting rust on the 18 Gage steel will be hard to cover up.
 
Cool and evil looking car !

Way beyond my ability and budget but I dig these cars.

Parts are likely a great thing to salvage off this one.

Every time I see one of these Memphian Dodges come up for sale, I think how neat it would be to have one. This one seems the most rusty so far. Or it's one of the ones I remember from before, just getting worse.
 
That's an interesting car but, not the first of these that we've seen. Memphian must have built quite a few of these for the military. Certainly rare and most assuredly worthy of restoration and preservation. For the most part, it seems to be all there.

Did anyone notice the 1937 S&S carved panel hearse in the background? Damascus or Romanesque it'shard to tell as you can't really ree enough of it. Now...that's amazing. It's based on a 1937 Buick chassis...like most Sayers & Scovill products in 1936 and 1937. Yeah, that's a flower car. From what can be seen, it looks like a home-built coach on a 1991-1992 Cadillac.
 
There does seem to be a fair number of these still laying around........... all in about the same condition. There seems to be very little interest in restoring one of these in this condition. I, personally, think that the roofs on these are pretty much aweful! I can't say that I would drag one home in this condition if it were given to me.
 
it is hard to really till about the car in pictures what looks like pitting rust in the picture could be primer and spots of old paint. that is why one needs to show up in person to see it. you really need to see it first before engaging into this kind of project. we have one of the sellers in Rapid of this kind of cars that sprays a layer of cheap primer on the cars first before posting a picture. surprising how good they look all one color
