Synopsis:- Since the fiberglass S1A was fitted on a variety of chassis from 85in. to 99in. to 102in. and underwent a myriad of revivals; no two cars were alike. Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge/Chrysler parts are prolific in all of them.

The objective being to create and procure an all American 🇺🇸 entity as original as our infamous apple 🍎 pie 🥧
