In my group of friends when I was 14 - 16 years old, the first guy to buy a car with money that he earned by dropping out of high school was a '49 Ford business coupe like in the first picture. But it was a copper color.

No matter. Ritchie repainted it grey primer. He had no previous experience with paint and, unfortunately, it showed.

He ruined the car, but the glass packs sounded great and the blue dots were cool.

The trim lines on the 55 to 57 Fords sure made for beautiful 2-tone paint jobs.

They sure make modern cars look plain!

I agree Jack. And the interiors were colorful too.

W/O them the rear quarter panels look less 'heavy'.
