Earl Phillips' 1936 Ford
In 1954, Earl Phillips of Baltimore, Maryland was studying roadsters and he thought every one of them looked alike. Earl began building his own, but he wanted something else. He began by buying a 1936 Ford, because he had never seen a street roadster made from one. Earl went down to work, the fenders were removed and a lot of rough spots were rounded. The body was channeled 9 inches and the doors were welded shut. The bumpers were removed and special nerf bars were made out of chromed water pipe. Earl spent two years hunting down the unique 1937 Cadillac Fleetwood grille which he installed. The taillights originated from a 1950 Chevrolet. The windshield was from a speedboat. The Oldsmobile Fiesta Hubcaps were modified with bullets and extra flippers.
