Description for Chevrolet Other 1939

Offered for biddin, is my multiple award winning 1939 Chevy full custom truck "Buzzin Half Duzzin". The Street-rod guys call it a "Rat-rod" .... The Rat-rod guys say it's way too clean and detaile, and call it a "Street-rod" .... but most call it very cool, and agree it deserved to be displayed upstairs at Detroit Autorama.
