Thats like putting braces on the Mona Lisa!! Dang.
A Chevy guy who buys a '57 Ford - ah, there is hope out there! the '57 Del Rio's are a very nice looking car, it was Fords answer, and a very good...
The Hockey sticks were an add-on (and very rare for the customs and wagons, common on the Fairlane 500) for at least '57. Not sure if it was...
Very nice. Did you know that with very little modifications you can bolt a '58 Edsel nose on to a '57 or '58 body?? Really looks neat on the '57...
Beautiful cars! Thank you for sharing! I have a Cleveland in my '57 and believe it to be one of Ford better V8's. I also have two more early...
The '57 Fords were destroyed starting almost immediately in 1957 and then for 10 more years on the race tracks in both the US and Canada. They...

Lots of original '57 Ford parts are still available at reasonable prices!
I am going to be looking at a '57 Custom 2-door within the next couple of weeks. In pieces with body work done. Interested if I am not? It is...
Is the '58 yours? Nice piece. I particulary liked the hoods from the '58 Fords.
Yeah, I have seen these. I live about 120 miles from the Canadian Border and we have a lot of cars come down from BC and the Canadian Fords are...
Lots of nose-bleed here but a damn fine piece!
Very nice job so far. Helps when you start with perfect (the '57). I would like to watch the progress on this? John
These are beautiful! I am looking at another 57 Custom 2-door. All of the body work has been done but needs to be put together, new slate to...
Beautiful piece. What are you powering this with??
