It seems like it would be, that the seats are too far back. Earning every penny of that moderator paycheck. DBAP

Never understood why people can't take decent (non-blurry) pics, especially when they want that much for something. Half of the pics of the engine and interior are garbage!

It seems like it would be, that the seats are too far back. it sure looks like a forehead banger to me. helmet on or not. and as was said, the interior is nice, but does not fit the theme of the car.

Pretty unique for its time, surprised to see such a similar 4-door gasser. I kinda like the rear on the '37 more than the "humpback" of the '40-'41. Doing my best to irritate the herd.
