Anniversary of the Grand National Roadster Show, and won 2015 Best
in Class at the Grand National Roadster Show and Autorama. Magazine
cover Hop Up magazine and featured in hot rod historian Pat
Ganahl's book 'Lost Hot Rods II: Remarkable Stories of How They
Were Found.' Himsl's 'Moonshiner' was a mainstay on the show scene
in the early '60s, including the 1959 Oakland Roadster Show and
cover car on Car Craft magazine in 1960 and Rod & Custom magazine
in 1963. Himsl traded the Moonshiner away in 1965 and regretted it
almost immediately. In 1995 located a new and correct touring body,
and the project began. Touring body had the back removed, and was
channeled and placed on a custom shortened Model A frame. Paint is
a Skymist Blue with custom pinstriping . White upholstery and the
dash was welded and molded in place with correct vintage gauges
installed. A period-correct Bell steering wheel was used and
connects to a 1956 Ford truck steering box. The pedals are
period-correct as well, from a 1939 Ford. The 59 AB Flathead is an
absolute showpiece and sitting on full display. It features an
extremely rare and true Baron Tattersfield 4x2 aluminum intake
manifold, Edelbrock heads, Mallory dual-point distributor, chromed
water pumps, custom radiator and is topped off with four chromed 97
carburetors. Trick exhaust system is all custom-bent with chromed
headers and Glaspac mufflers. Transmission is a 1939 Ford unit. The
underside of this show car is just as nice as the top, with paint,
polished or chromed. Front suspension has a very rare Ed 'Axle'
