"When seconds count between life and death, the Police are only Minutes away." - Phillip Van Cleaves (October 30, 2007) Freedoms lost are seldom restored. "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have" Thomas Jefferson "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." Cesare Beccaria, 1767 (Later quoted by Thomas Jefferson)

It is a 1929 roadster body, on a 1932 chassis, with a complete Q45 drivetrain. As soon as Craig gets in, I'll scan in the article and pictures.

Would have made a cool Plymouth Prowler competitor! A classic roadster with a real V8 instead of a 3.5 V6.Oh well, the market for that kind of car is only as big as my pinky toe anyway.

I posted a couple of photo-links of this in the "Transplanting a Q45 in a Hotrod" thread last month. The car was built by rodder Joe MacPherson, who apparently owned several Tustin California dealerships including Infiniti of Tustin. The Q29 won the AMBR title in 1994 at the Grand National Roadster Show in Oakland.| Quote, originally posted by AZhitman » | | Pure sex. Wonder where it is now? |
I spoke to someone at Infiniti Tustin who said the roadster was in a museum somewhere.

Neither does the seating look that comfortable. But it does precede the Lexus V8 hot rod, and presumably the running gear would include the Q45 G50 suspension, but it appears not to in the front.

I don't know, it looks like leather seats. It's a little cramped, but if they used soft leather it'd be good.

I think the point is, anyone that buys a convertible, then complains abot the lack of winter time warmth, didn't buy the right car, or doesn't understand the purpose of the car.It's a street rod, it's all about style/being unique, not comfort.

Who was complaining about the warmth?I've seen some very comfortable street rods. Was told it is a 1929 Ford body, hence the name Q29. Go figure.

It was supposed to be an analogy, and like a joke no one laughs at, it didn't work  . Yes, more comfortable seats can be found in street rods, but aren't considered true to being a street rod. It could be said they lost the "true" street rod-ness by putting a VH in it?? I think I agree, the name doesn't work for me either .

Oh, I get it. You're like that one teacher that everyone has had... Who's humor is dry as a prune. . Just messin with ya.Hot roads are cool in that they are unique, but that's just my opinion. A company could mass produce a true hodrod and I'd still like it's uniqueness
