    People who are correct believe that shoeboxes are 49-51 Fords. People who are incorrect believe that 55-57 Chevys are shoeboxes. I obviously have no opinion either way. :)

    It is very common to hear a 55 being referred to as a shoebox. I think Tex Smith pretty much solidified the 49-51 Ford as THE shoebox.

    This is one of 3 49's my dad has customized.
    He ended up selling it to someone in California.

    This last pic was just before he sold it.
    My dad is my inspiration for the love of Hotrod's and Customs.
