  1. Norman Retor's car should really be cool with the hood. I remember that car in the little books.

    It's funny how people today will swear that 4 doors were never customized back in the 60, I have a 50 Plymouth sedan that was built back then, custom grille and new yorker rear fender with a continental kit,it has the chyrsler 6 in it, neat car, would make a neat project some day,I might jusy hang onto it for one of my girls. I love these old pictures, so many great ideas, some really off the wall stuff but still great history, thanks so much for taking the time to share all of these.

    Sorry if this has already been posted, but kool is kool. I found that Rikster
    posted this on another topic....I thought that it needed to be over here
    with the Kustoms. Kan't wait to see this one finished.

    I'm gonna have to make a trip to Sweden some day..

    Happy Trails,

    Mick

    The Buster Litton clone looks to be right on the money. It was one of the nicest "shoebox" customs back in the day. I love seeing what the folks in the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries are doing with customs. They don't have to take a back seat to us in the homeland of customs. Keep it up guys and keep the photos coming.

    It seems like you have right about that:

    Can anyone here identify if it is a '50 or '51 ford? It seems to have '50 ford parking lights, and the upper grille bar from a '51 ford...

    Looks like a '50 judging by the dash. (From what I can see of it.)
    Cool car, I'm thinking I've seen it in an early magazine that was showcasing side trim on '49/'51 Fords.

    Yep, that and the wheel and rear bumper. Really nice lookin car, very very smooth.
     
  21. Really like the front bumper treatment.
     
  22. Admire the -50 cvt. Many details of real good design on that one, a new favorite!

    Good looking, well detailed shoebox. The trunk hinges are hidden, suggesting it might be a '51, but the other details are '50 (parking lights, dash, steering wheel).
