I like it either way. When I was 16 a neighbor bought a brand new 56 hardtop and he would drive it with skirts for a while and then I would see it without. Looks good to me both ways.
Overall, I have hated fender skirts on most cars. On very few, did I ever care for them. I had the black & yellow '56 hardtop and had them surgically removed; it was a gorgeous car thereafter. I like them better on a '55 than I do a '56 or '57 Chevy and on some T-Birds they look right at home; but generally, as a rule, I dislike them.

And don't get me started on Connie Kits!!
LOL, I'm guessing you and me are going to agree on NO Connie Kits. I've always said that if one wants to ugly up their car, put a Connie Kit on it.
Back in those days, I thought skirts were sooooo cool, but I was 4 years old in 1956. As I grew older I tended to like the tri-fives skirtless. Women too.
Agree on the butt warts but if we were talking side mounts that’s a horse of a different color!
In these early days, these were nothing more than Stagecoaches without the Horses. They didn't become CARS until (in my opinion) the later Thirties/early Forties.

LOL, I think we can all agree that skirts look much better on women, than cars.
I will agree that on this Continental, the kit looks okay. But still not a fan. THANK YOU Tony for the three great photos! I only have the Black version of this model and would love to add these three to my parking lot. They are on my 1:24 diecast Bucket List.
