A 2 window Deuce Sedan?

Wouldn't this be considered a 2 window Deuce Sedan?

1 windshield and 1 rear window?

Is that the "Lil Coffin? or a close replica?

Great looking car, but with all that workmanship, the windshield looks like an after-thought.

It says Lil Coffin II on the sign, so must be one of the clones. I didn't realize how small it is. I also always liked that car.

DOH...I didn't notice the sign, I had to scroll the pic over to the left on my screen to see it....I named my first Soap Box Derby car after that one in the 60's

One of my favorite show rods. Could a car like that win the Riddler today?

...Maybe... if Foose or Troy, or Boyd built it...

In the first pic is Dave Stuckey with white hair and the jacket,
talking to Elden Titus. Dave built the original car.

A few more pics and a bit of history here.

Here's a pic of the original car.

Oh and here's a pic when it was still a driver parked at Starbirds Custom when Dave Stuckey was working there.

Here's Dave and Darryl with some of their show cars parked on the apron at McConnel AFB. The Coffin is on the right.

Here's a pic of the starbird shop with the original Coffin grille in the forground.

I believe these are evolutions of the car by Starbird.

This one is currently in the Starbird Hall of Fame Museum.

Just a bit of trivia, I am currently living in a house that Dave Stuckey's dad built. Bought it from Dave Stuckey's dad 20yrs ago.

Some more trivia, I have been freinds with the carnut for over 35 years, I bet he didnt know that I built Dave Stuckys current shop. I remodeled houses for Daves dad who was a realter. Roger
