Subdeacon Joe Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 https://www.thedrive.com/news/heres-your-reminder-that-not-all-1930s-cars-were-beautiful As outlined in a for-sale summary published by Hemmings, the 1938 Longhorn was the personal project of one Oliver Albert of Gonzalez, Texas, who constructed the car by hand over 14 years. Its body, as you won't be surprised to hear, was cobbled together from cars of 14 different makes (unspecified), resulting in a shape that one commenter likened to a boa constrictor swallowing a rat. Its proportions are as strange as its styling; it measures just 45 inches high, making it three inches lower than a first-gen Mazda Miata (NA), but 232 inches long, making it over half a foot longer than a 2022 Chevy Suburban.
