An unknown 1939 Ford convertible custom from The Jimmy Summers Photo Collection. Could this be another channeled Jimmy Summers build?

Dave Facey's 1939 Ford Coupe of Lakeland, Florida. For years, Dave used to pass by the radical custom on his way to work. It sat in a backyard, and in the early 1980s, he finally decided to stop and check it out. He bought it, and the seller told him that the sectioned and channeled car was built in the Ohio area. Dave eventually sold it to "Big George," who put in a big block Chevy running gear and additional customizations. He named it "The Silver Rose" and showed it for several years.

David Engemann's 1939 Ford Convertible of West Branch, Michigan. Known as "The Dream Catcher," the car was rescued from a junkyard in Escanaba, Michigan in 2023.
