    Every time I see photos of that car I keep thinking it is so right on the money design wise you can expect to hear self styled "experts" say it was a production car.
    It would be fun to see the reaction at the All Ford picnic next year if they still hold it. Or the Greenwood show.

    Just absolutely stunning! I can't get over the sheer perfection of this car.
     
  3. Getting ready to head to Arizona next week. Would be fun to see a few other HAMBers
     
  4. Check out the new HOP UP annual. Killer photos by John Jackson & words by my old friend Louis Stands. Really happy with the feature. Thanks Hop Up, Marcy, Justin, John & everyone else involved!

    Ford should have built them like that in the first place. Would have sold a BUNCH. :)

    Heck, if Ford built those now, I bet they'd sell a bunch!
    I'd sign up!

    I just revisited this build. I really, really, really like this car. Great craftsmanship, exterior and interior
    color combination cannot be improved upon. Great job.

    D'Augustino used the Lincoln wheel covers on one of his outstanding 'Kustoms'... I was pleased to see them used, as they are so 'unique'.
    The Lincoln caps were a wise choice here, as the elegance they have just fits this astounding art piece.
    Congrats...

    Beautiful wagon that will easily pass the test of time. Congrats on a vision that was brought to life.

    It needs paneling down the sides.

    But I suppose it is alright without it. :cool:

    Absolutely stunning! Making a custom car that looks like the factory would have built is a testament to your skills and imagination!
     
  19. Panel Paint? Trust me I've thought of this.

    Nothing against paint panel jobs (love it) but I have a thing for country squires.

    What an amazing amount of skill. Such a beautiful car
     
  24. I always thought that a lot of the top notch cars were over the top, but your build is the definition of understatement. It is utterly fantastic.
