That's interesting, and not unlike an MX5 with an SWB front. Why not ask Chris for a quote to customise your car. It would be a unique vehicle.

I've always been a fan of the high performance estate concept and would've loved a Lancia HPE Volumex when I was younger. After all, it was good enough for the Brady Bunch -

The HPE is probably the best car I ever owned from a combined performance/looks/practicality viewpoint.

That's quite a transformation, it must've taken a helluva lotta work to turn that thirties art-deco streamliner into a pickup.



Love both the streamliner and the fifties Chevy btw.
