I found interesting cars and trucks all along my recent jaunt to E. Texas. Looking halfway like a cab, It has a 1969 Chevy front suspension, rear axle, a four speed auto and speed parts on the straight six engine. I love to see the original”Stovebolt” inline, OHV six-cylinder engines, the only engine Chevy offered from 1929 until the “small block” V8 joined the stable in 1955. The earliest of these engines were known as “stovebolt” sixes because some of the bolts in the the engine looked like those used in woodstoves.
This hot rodded Falcon in S. Austin, Texas, is the best I’ve seen. A first-rate, complete, car. 
1951 Cadillac coupe getting service in N. Austin, Texas. Its modern OHV 331-cid V-8 makes 160 hp. Compared to the flathead V-8 it replaced in 1949, it’s more compact, weighs 188 lbs. less, and is more powerful. Because gasoline was now available with higher octane, compression ratios could be raised, too. Popular Mechanics reported about 12 mpg at 45 mph.
This is a Chevy, but GM used this body on Pontiac and maybe Oldsmobile. Took these pics at Murphos Rods and Customs.
