Polynesian

Polynesian is a customized 1950 Oldsmobile Holiday 88 built by Neil Emory and Clayton Jensen at Valley Custom Shop. It was built at the request of original owner Jack Stewart in 1952. Construction Unlike most owners at the time, Stewart wanted the car built all at once. The car was inspired by Ron Dunn's sectioned '50 Ford, also built by Valley Custom, essentially to Stewart's original design; only his desire to have the top chop was changed, under persuasion from Emory. The car was built over a period of nine months. It was sectioned , wheelwells re-radiused, and the rear fenders bulges fitted with brake vents. It was nosed and decked, and the doors converted to electrically-operated solenoids. 1947 Studebaker taillights were tunnelled into the rear fenders. The exhaust pipes exited through a modified rear bumper.
