Just remove the skirts, the mud flaps and the cont. kit and it isn't half bad. OH yes and the correct size whitewalls for that year.

I always liked the full bumper that was protruded via the extension. I always thought it...

... was a clever design touch. I thought so back in the day and still do.

PICS - I remember when we were kids when someone drove by in their personalized custom...

... with the Connie, bubble skirts, dual antenna, dual chrome exhaust tips, spot lights, and curb feelers we'd stop playing to watch it drive by while our mouths dropped in awe. They were quite common in the streets of Detroit in the '50s.

They're pretty common here in So Cal. They are de rigueur on the early '50s Chevy lowriders.
