upright headlights on a pre 67 car

[Peter]

Hey guys,
i know it might sound strange,
but recently i was thinking of replacing the front fenders to other ones, because they are badly dented
and i saw a pic of a japanese 51? with new style fenders..
does anybody know this car or has a pic?
I think it could look cool on my 64....

Here is Old One from Our Club it is A 60 with 67 front fenders its the one in Primer

I ran 67 front fenders, rear decklid, apron and tail lights on an Oval in the 70's

You used to see this sort of thing once in a while.

It was featured in March 2007 of Ultra VW.

Here is what I have found so far... Unfortunately it doesn't show the front

that is avery nice Japanese car. and it looks nice with the upright lights.

think it was inspired by Lee Leightons red car, and how could that be wrong 

[Peter]

Yeah , thats the car
thanks for the pics guys!

I found a pic of the '51 you are looking for      (and a look-a-like)

That "look a like" is what the split use to be. Its a 74 owned by the same guy in Japan. The 74 body was rotting away underneath. His decision was to replace the 74 body with that of a 51, so the 51 with the 67 front fenders is on a 74 pan. Confusing eh??

it might be a mongrel but it still looks great

This is what a '57 with a '67 style front looks like:
