what’s the car in Theory Of A Deadman’s “All Or Nothing” vid?
its obviously a 50ish something, the grille/bumper and taillights have me stumped
I searched a bunch of different models/makes but couldn’t find that exact one

to me it looks like an early 50’s oldsmobile with a custom/aftermarket grille…
the hood/headlights resemble merc, but the merc’s didn’t have the flared rear quarters like the car in the video, and oldsmobiles did

good call :tup: thats the one
I was thinking merc too at first but 49-50 mercs have more of a slantback/fastback than the car in the vid
incidentally, here’s a nice 53 I found in the meantime ~\> [http://www.steeldreamz.com/Sold%20Vehicles/1953\_chevrolet\_custom.htm](http://www.steeldreamz.com/Sold%20Vehicles/1953_chevrolet_custom.htm)

Would never happen, we actually lost my uncle about two years ago. They are technically my cousins now and will not be touched until he can drive them=/

True. I was watching it in a small window at work so I couldn’t pay that much attention to the details.
