    Probably one of the better uses/placements I've seen for '55 Caddy Dagmars...they look natural there...

    Big Daddy's mild customs...

    Don Garlits swapped the rear window of his '39 Ford (seen here in 1955), so his wife could see to drive.

    He followed suit with his '40 Convertible (with Caddy mini-fins).
    This thing's got flame-throwers!

    Some here won't consider this a "Custom", but whatever you call it, it's a whole lot nicer than "Just "Stock"!

    Funny, I don't recall ever seeing the '55 Plymouth grille used on other customs back in the day, but I've seen it used several times in the last couple of years. I think it really works as a custom grille, and is a lot more distinctive than the over-used Chev, DeSoto, and Pontiac grilles that have been standard issue on mild customs for years. JMO, of course.
