Ol’ Rosy isn’t perfect but she runs damn good with a ’57 T-bird motor and 2 – 4bbl carbs she goes like hell.

I took a ’49 Merc and removed the rear, shortened the roof and added the bed and fenders from a 2004 Chevy SSR. Rebuilt the frame, cut out the hood, added an engine compartment and painted her black with an electric pink front fading back into the black…..and yes I know there is a chip in the hood. I dropped the hood, and besides this gives her character!

Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.

I once saw a real '50s Hudson turned into a pickup that looked much like your model! Thanx for great imagineering!
