The missus and I have been giving this some more thought. She'll bid zero dollars for the back half.

Is this an early prototype for front wheel drive? I had a LeBaron with FWD in the early '80's.

And if someone cut the car in half, what was the original half-event? Meaning someone obviously needed a back half, which meant all they had was a front half....so what happened to THAT car?

Maybe all Plymouth LEBANONs were like this?

And if it truly is a 57-58-59, why the heck did it take so long to make only half a car?

Some Scandanavian fellow could probably repair it in a couple of weeks, though.

Looks like a great first car for that rambunctious punk kid.

"Hey, kid ... c'mere, .... I got a little 'surprise" for ya !"

Oh yeah, I forgot, that would considered "child abuse" these days.

Location: bishop, ca		The seller musta've thought that he was a real wit.

Turns out he was only half right (like Mike almost-says).

Nobody's considered the possibility that this car has been converted to front wheel drive.

If this car were an aero-plain, would it be considered as being a tail dragger?

I called the number to ask some questions. The guy said when he was cutting the car, he accidentally
cut the left side of his body off. He's all right now . . .

Location: Parts Unknown		One of my Joisey friends is a fireman here. We were in the office and a filipino guy came in and
told one of the clerks something. The clerk asked what he had been doing at the time of the incident,
and the guy replied "Cutting soup".

Joisey guy and I busted up, as we both had family in the Soup Cutters Union.

I am pretty sure the seller here developed his skills in the Soup Cutters Union.

Location: bishop, ca		So....that's the unkindest cut of all?

Actually, when you sober up and think seriously about this car, the owner had no
other recourse, to cutting it in half, because breaking-up is hard to do.

I got half a mind to buy it.

We've all seen those 57 shebbies with the matching trailer in the back at car shows...you know, a trailer made from rear clip of another car.

Maybe that's what happened with this....of course if I buy this for that purpose it would have to go in FRONT of my car. I'm sure I could rig up something.

We should all pitch in and take it to Carlisle next year. It could be this forum's mascot, would fit under a tent, and only about half our cars go to Carlisle anyway.

But if you are considering the purchase, they say "half a loaf is better than no loaf"
