1965 Cadillac - Brian Evans

 

1958 Thunderbird - Jerry Hockett

 

The flower fabric in Jeff's '57 is from the 1954 Chrysler La Comtesse concept car. It was a concept to be marketed at women and featured a glass top. Jeff found out that the concept car was being restored and the name of the supplier that recreated the floral fabric. He was able to contact them and buy what they had left of it. There are 2 cars in the world with that fabric, the restored La Comtesse and Jeff's Ford.

 

Wow! Thanks so much Bill (Sancho) for adding the anecdote about the upholstery on Jeff Myer's 57 Ford and especially for rounding up images of the other car that shares that material.

1939 Plymouth Pickup - Tim and Kelli Powell

 

Thanks Dan For all of the great pics.

 

Ok, just now noticed it, but what the heck is that hanging out behind the bumper and under the fender of Gary's Lincoln?!? Thought curb feelers at first, but never seen any like that before.

 

Flag mount?

That's my bet.

 

You're welcome pat59 - thanks!
As for the item on Gary's Lincoln - I will post an enlargement of just that so maybe it will be more identifiable.

1951 Mercury - Jeremy Marzen

 

Kool shot, I'm surprised you were able to take the pic. Guys were all over this Sedan...

 

Yes it is a flag mount for parades. I was surprised he didn't have them with him.

 

Thanks Mick - it was actually one of the easiest pictures here since I was able to get close up and aim down, which pretty much eliminates people being in it. I just waited so no one too close to be reflected in the velocity stacks.
Thanks also for the answer on Gary's Lincoln.

1956 Chevy - Frank Worman

 

Frank's Chevy loves wearing the new wide whites.

 

It does look cool that way - definitely an earlier period look than it had with the mags.

 

1947 Dodge Pickup - Jamie Johnson

 

1957 Ford - ?

 

'57 that's been fitted with '58 headlights and a '58 Desoto bumper 'grill'. All the other cues say '57...
