I thought that I had seen most cars in my long motoring life, but a couple of days ago I saw a car that I do not recall ever seeing before.
It was a Ford V8 Pilot Coupe. From the front it was easily identifiable as a Ford V8 Pilot of the 1950's era. But this was an open topped 2 door Coupe!
Never seen such a beast before. It appeared to be as originally built, i.e not a conversion and was in great condition apart from missing engine side covers on both sides. The V8 engine was fully visible and did not appear to have been altered in any way.
I took several pictures on my mobile phone but of course have no way of attaching them to this thread. Have sent copies to V9 but unsure if he is around at the moment.
My question is this:- Has anyone ever heard or seen of such a beast before? Obviously there are details of the V8 sedan and the Shooting Break, a pick up truck, but no where are there details of the Coupe. The obvious thought must be that it was a conversion, but the quality of the bodywork suggests otherwise!
