The other day I saw a car for sale that was a 51 Victoria (hard top) that had the 50 bullet nose grill & hood. It also had a 1950 ford dash. It was a good looking car with all the elements I love. Now I can't find the for sale listing. Maybe someone knows of the car & its location. Thanks guys

Just like that....except it was all done....real nice....it even had the 50 taillight treatment like the one you posted.....I think it was listed for $28,500
My car fits your description perfectly, but it's not for sale. I'm surprised that there's another one.
You car is beautiful ..... thats for sure I'm partial to the 50 ford but I really like the hardtop. Super nice.....done just the way I like it....50 dash & taillights....
Beeuutiful, Mind telling us how you accomplished the project? I'm thinking 49/50 quarters and front sheet metal???
HELLO I HAVE A 51 VICTORIA KUSTOM FOR SALE ON THIS SITE THE BEST DEAL AROUND TAKE A LOOK YOU MIGHT LIKE IT THANKS
Body-wise, it was simpler than that. It took only a '50 hood and grille. But there are detail trim parts from 30 different cars on it, including bumpers, dash, headlights and taillights, side trim, hood ornament and more. People sometimes ask if I put a '51 Victoria top on a '50 convertible. I didn't, but it would have been simpler.
i read the part about a '50 dash and thought, "now that's a switch"! with the mania over mitchum's "thunder road" shoebox, i thought everyone wanted a '51 dash!
