Hi

Criminal if it's a real Individual Custom, simply a travesty if it's the more likely "fakey-do'.

Just conjecture, but I'd bet its mostly Gibbons repro parts, a replica V-windshield coachbuilt body and mounted on some F-100/GMC chassis. The track width is typical replicar fare: too small diameter/too wide width wheels and tires sticking out past the fenders.

Well, at least they didn't paint it pearlescent white with gold-plated trim.....though why not?

With a tip of the hat to H. L. Mencken, a slightly updated paraphrase: "No one ever went broke underestimating the taste or intelligence of the American public".
