    I've always been partial to the 2 door post sedans. But then I'm partial to the way they lend to hot rodding. Yep, Two Lane Blacktop, just to start.
    I've had a bunch of different makes and years and have seen some pretty rad gassers in the off brands.

    To me, there's no other single decade that saw so much change in style from start to finish.
    I'm hoping Fords, all GM, Mopar and orphan makes show up to make a huge 2 door sedan album of proud owners..........

    Here's my '51... it doesn't quite look like this anymore, but don't have a pic of the car together yet. Mostly because it's not together yet.

    [​IMG]Why does it not surprize me that you had flames on that cool post? Now that looks like a true 50's hot rod!

  15. Ow,owowowowow! If you still have the '51 perhaps it could get a Carson-style top? Of course then it would have to appear in a different thread ;).

    Wow, lots of cool cars on here!

    Here's my '53 Ford Customline. It's been disassembled since these pic were taken so I can clean it up/repair/repaint, etc.

    OK, so my 60 Cadillac doesn't have posts, but it was made in very late 1959 - I reckon that still counts.

    Either way, it's still cool.

    I've got some trees to take down this Winter to avoid anything similar. What happened to the shoebox after this?

    In that pic you can see how big that car is compared to the police car. She's been lowered and chopped and still makes that mopar look small.
