1953 BONAGURO SPECIAL CUSTOM COUPE

Lot #760 - This incredible 50's custom is the result of years of work by John Bonaguro of Michigan. This is a completely hand-crafted automobile that was constructed over the period of 1957-1963. The suspension is 50's Studebaker, the engine is an Oldsmobile Rocket V8 from 1955 as is the transmission. The other parts identified are 1958 Chevy taillight lenses, the windshield and cowl are 1959 Dodge and the seats are 1962 T-Bird. Everything else on this incredible automobile is hand fabricated. The car was shown extensively in the early sixties, and was featured in Hot Rod magazine's Custom Car Annual of 1964. This is an important early custom unlike any other car. **TITLED AS A 1953 CHRYSLER**
