    What Is It?

    Morris Minor sedan....

    Oh, the thing growing out of the bush? Sorry, don't know, but I'd grab it if I had a chance since it's totally unique and might be fun to restore.

              bidding war

              This retro spaceship is way too cool not to drag home, Joe. Judging by the interest, you could flip it to one of us suckers for a tidey profit - Pedigree or not.

              Would look awesome with a RatFink style, bubble top...come to think of it, everything is better with a bubble top.jibberjabber

                Judging by the size next to the car it looks small! Perfect boat for the twin 5hp Sea Kings I have!!

                @Greg- Bubble tops are kind of like bacon... Everything is better with bacon!

                I agree. Drag it home Joe and set a price!!

                  I'm guessing it's off an old carnival ride!

                      I go look at it today and of course, will take the camera to get some pictures of it.
                      In the picture, it looks as they did make a planter out of it

                      I will know more later on today :TakePicture1: :TakePicture1:

                        This thing ended up being only about 8 feet long, or almost 8 feet.
                        Looks like a carnival ride, paper thin and cracked all over the place. It was pretty flimsy.
                        It looked as it Did have a outboard on it as I could see a small transom to bolt the engine too and in Oregon, you used to have to License anything that had a motor on it.
                        In one picture, it had a cigarette lighter in the middle of the dash place too ?.

                        I passed on it.
                        To me, is was yard art....I have that already

                          Cool looking project! Is it advertised for sale Joe or just someone you know. What are they asking for it?

                          Greg- The Thunderflite 1961 Ford concept car you posted earlier in this thread is going across the auction block. Would look great towing your Glastron!

                            Yeah Joe, tell us where this little beauty is hiding?? - inquiring minds want to know. I envision grafting a jet ski between sponsons to make a tri-hull, by removing the floor, there would be plenty of room for center seating and footwells with an airplane type stick for controls...

                            As for the Thunderflite tow rig, Brian. It is one of my top five fave cars ever. Calling my stock broker to purchase Windex shares right now.

                              I was thinking a turbine and hydrofoils; small ones of course. anger:
