    In the late 60s My dad had a Sunbeam and I too sat in that spot. I was 5 or 6 but remember it.

    When i think about riding down the highway in there as a early teen, I must have been a real sight to see. Probably would be frowned on now by the police! (as i recall there weren't any seat belt laws yet in Oregon in the early 80,s)

    That really is looking more like a car and less like an ASO (automobile shaped object)

    She’s up on Jack stands again but it does look funny in that picture.
    I do believe the wheels are straight-ish, but will have to drive her to know for sure.

    Just missing a fender? Maybe that's why it looks funny?

    Yeah, without the fender it looks kind of like a T Bucket.
