A lowered Hudson?

I had not noticed that but it probably is because the car has been lowered and the roof chopped down.

On my ride through town I saw this crew working on large tree just a block from downtown;
This was a utility crew removing one of several hundred 'fire hazard' trees in town. This 150 year old tree had sparked local demonstrations, tree sitters, and a lawsuit that delayed removal for several months. A local judge finally put it all to rest announcing that only the State's Public Utility Commission had jurisdiction and they had ordered the utility to proceed with vegetation clearing in their their rights of way. In a compromise, the utility agreed to wait until the City had their own arborist inspect this tree. His report confirmed what the utility's report had said, the tree was at end of life and was posing a hazard to high voltage power lines in the canopy.
The protesters, all dozen or so of them, had named the tree 'Bella'. By late afternoon Bella was gone. Locals left cut flowers on the stump. The City has very restrictive tree removal regulations but even they agreed that fire protection came first and that the Utility Commission had jurisdiction.
But the protests go on. Tree sitters have taken up residence in a large pine in the City's historic Pioneer Cemetery in the hopes of preventing its removal. They vow to physically protect 10 large trees around town. We'll see how this plays out as the tree removal crews are nearing the end of their scheduled work.
Always something going on in this small town...

This Thunderbird has California classic car plates that identify it as a '56. Obviously a convertible but I believe this was also available with the removable 'port hole' hard top. The best part is the fasterest red color!
