Can anyone tell me about the Brubaker Box?
(Fun fact, that is not a wooden front bumper, it's heavy gauge steel painted to look like a 2x6, from the factory!! The '70's amiright?)

No idea, but that side mirror looks way back there.

And, yet, that side mirror is placed perfectly... The drivers seat is a long way from the windshield!

My brother had a friend in high school that had a 2x8 bolted on his 60’s car for a front bumper. I thought it was cool looking.

The Dodge Deora has a similar kind of ultra coolness.

If you have to know, an acquaintance of mine is doing some of the work for someone who is restoring this car, and there are a lot of questions about the thing, so I brought it to the Pelican Brain Trust to see if any clues could be teased out. (If you see Valerie, tell her hi for me.  )

Valerie is sorta chubby and has a cooking show now...

Back in the early 70s I worked as a welder building race car trailers. We had an enclosed trailer with a fiberglass body whose design was based on the Brubaker Box. The trailer was poorly built - the body leaked and went through tires like crazy - but we sold a dozen or so. I doubt that any still exist. I delivered one to Colorado Springs and went through a set of tires in 1200 miles - in an empty trailer. Had to stop and have new tires put on it before i could deliver it.
