Art & Inspiration How about a 1957-1958 Ford thread?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Chris, Jan 6, 2016.

  1. Is this the car that Rad Rides built for Glide engineering?

  3. I stand corrected, similar colors......probably the only similarity, lol. Thanks Sancho. That's a beautiful car at a very reasonable price.

    Here's one from the Vintage Photo page. Since it says 245 HP on the hood the dual quads and superchargers had already been banned. Happened in early 1957. 1 darlington.jpg

    Delicious looking. If this thing was frozen and had a stick coming out I'd probably lick it.

    Mine had a few different touches so I'll post it here. Has been in Australia for one year now. I still have a nice louvered hood for one of these--if interested PM me. S5002027.jpg

    Is that Terry Denomme's blue wagon in the back ground?

    I believe this photo is from Dawsonville. This bodystyle is my all-time favorite '57-'58, the Custom Tudor. I would love to find one as solid as this one appears to be.

    Fairly sure I saw this Ford there several years ago. Seems like it was owned by an older gentleman. I believe it had the big Interceptor V8. Sure looked the sleeper.

    Coming out of hibernation. Complete front end rebuild with Aerostar springs. New Bob Drake gas tank. Newport electric wipers. At the alignment shop today. Note: check your tires. While cleaning and polishing my mags, I found cracks between the treads-hence the steelies and 41' caps for now.

  24. Nice, Sam! I like it with the steelies and caps.
