Today, when searching for a project car on Craigslist, I spied a little car that I didn't know much about. Before you start questioning my actual knowledge of cars, I'll tell you why I didn't know much about it. It was a 1960 Hillman Husky, made by the tiny company of tiny cars. Basically, the Husky is a small two-door station wagon with a front end that looks kind of like a fusion of Morris Minor and some early Fifties American cars and a rear that was basically a less cluttered American rear that was smaller and had no tail fins.
To those of you who think this 1960 Husky was basically a Chrysler with different styling (they had an alliance; more on that coming up), you're wrong. The deal the struggling Rootes Group had with Chrysler wasn't until 1967, and my Craigslist find is a '60.
I am thinking about going to see this car, and if all goes well I may be posting about my new project in the next month or so! photo from www.philseed.com
