Hi all!
That appears to be a Victress body -- I am looking at a picture of one right now
in our Accessory Sourcebook and it matches exactly except for the windshield
(which someone probably added on later -- the one in the pic is very short and
only two-post). They were made at least in 1957 and probably other years as
well,
by the Victress Mfg. Company in North Hollywood, CA. They had seven different
styles -- coupes, roadsters and dragsters. They started at $295!
Hope this sheds some light for ya!
Keep Triumphing,
Susan :)
