1930's Oldsmobile Hot Rod

Just wondering if anyone has ever seen a hot rod based on an early 1930's Oldsmobile?

If so PICS PLEASE!!!

There was a guy from southern Ontario who had a bright blue 34(?) coupe with a Ford small block in it back in the 90's. I don't have any pictures, but it looked pretty cool. He used to show up at the Olds shows in WNY.

Chasing Classic Cars...

I believe a lot of oldsmobile powered hot rods exist(ed) I understand that the olds motors were the ones to beat, I love the actual olds hot rod but that seems to be powered by a pontiac, The starlight coupe was a 31 ford powered by an oldsmobile 303 this was on chasing classic cars, I do NOT like the grill, but love ford coupes (Milners Coupe is one of my all time favourites)

Oldsmobile powered Rods are VERY common.

I'm more interested in people that used the oldsmobile bodies to make hot rods.

Here's a 37 coupe that I saw at a local cruise the other night. No idea what it had for power.
