mostly due to the elegant color and the quality of the photo. But, as usual, I needed to do some edits just to see what they looked like.

As found:

60 Mercury Park Lane CV (1)

Light dechroming:

60 Mercury Park Lane CV (2)

A bit more wheelbase, more wheel/tire, slight windshield chop and some trim changes:

60 Mercury Park Lane CV (3)

Just a bit of refinement including longer doors and more trim changes:

60 Mercury Park Lane CV (4)

Do you like any of them better than the others?

Enjoy!

I think your last picture shows a classy, elegant, and understated street custom, something that could come out of Chip Foose's mind.

I prefer the stock version of this one.

@pete-rovero: You flatter me, sir! Thanks for the encouraging comment but Mr. Foose is a much more talented designer. And, he can metalwork the actual cars rather than a PC keyboard. I do appreciate your opinion.
