Maybe the owner plans on driving it at some point.

Thanks, Larry. I appreciate it. I know its hard to express what is meant in print vs speaking, and perhaps I took it as harsher than what was intended. That aside, I do love customs - just don't mess with Nomads, Rivieras or a MK II - LOL.
Thanks, again.

I think I've seen that '55 at Macungie, PA.

First of all, it's great to see that this car is Ford-powered. Second, I think we've all missed the point that most high-quality speed equipment, if cleanly and properly installed, is BEAUTIFUL to look at. And this builder was obviously concerned with making every square inch of the car beautiful. In fact, we don't know it there are pistons or a crankshaft inside that yummy-looking engine !! (LOL)

If you don't have any issues with me or anyone else
George, then why the whine, whine, whine, in this post. You really need to grow up and stop your 5 year old antics.

i had a 1955 Ford town sedan 2dr.
Did anyone notice the Mercury station wagon tail lights? My car was 3 tone yellow and white with merc cruiser skirts and the wagon tail lights back in 1957! I'm looking for the pictures of the car and haven't found them yet. My ex wife was broad sided in the car and totaled. It was painted yellow top white middle and yellow bottom. This was in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1958!

Nice custom only thing I dislike about it is the wrinkley material on the door panels.
This is one styling trend that just about EVERY higher end japanese car features on its' door panels and I have always thought it looked crappy, cheap and didn't see the purpose. Its also hard to clean as it has layers and layers of creases where dirt gets trapped inside. So in my eyes now this nice custom Ford looks as if the door panels were "borrowed" from a Japanese car!
