Briggs Cunningham at Le Mans 1950. Who is Briggs? race car driver and museum owner, and a sports car legend as he was one of the first in the 1950's to go all the way to try and win the European races as an American, like Reventon did after him, and Shelby after Reventon http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/03/le-monster-of-briggs-cunningham.html

Repainted once, vinyl top removed and painted white to match the side stripe, it's on it's 3rd power steering pump, 2nd set of back up/brake lights (75 bucks apiece) and 2nd set of rubber bumper guards (75 bucks apiece)
Still has the original hubcaps

Above is one of the side streets, not the main drag. Below is the duece donation grill 
Tweety bird mudflaps.. yikes. 
great shifter, it's in a 50's Dodge Sierra 
Great centerpiece design and dash piece over the glove box. The dual ashtrays are not unique, a few cars had them, but the clock between and the radio above turned out really well 
Instantly recognizeable tail light, I like that about older cars from the 60's
