Chucho's car?


I can't remember what it was, only that it looked cool. Anyone know the year and model?

i FINALLY saw this movie on TCM the other day... Chucho's car is a 1940[or'39] Ford Standard Business Coupe.... with 'chopped top', and lowered, with 'skirts' and shaved emblems and door handles[remember how he opened the doors?]. The OUTSTANDING paint job[Candy Apple Red-very popular back then] was TOO good!!! that is a George Barris quality paint job[worth 3,000 bucks in the 50's!!!!!]

The Mercury[of Rival gang] was also achopped, and lowered car

BOTH GREAT examples of 'customizers' back then, and has been ongoing a revival these days,too
