Customs Ron Hings custom 56 Chevy convert

He can’t lose the kitchen. That’s where the spark plug wires are stored.

 

I saw the posts about this being for sale. It’s cool that it’s going to a really good home.

I like the current colour better than the original green.

 

Great color and interior, the tail lights and quarters are spectacular.

 

Was it white at one time ?
did Ron buy it new ?

THANKS, Seem like Don Pennington had it when it was white.

I might be mixed up with Chen, King, Hing, Ting, or others?

 

Man, I just saw this. I thought it was one of those "anyone seen this missing custom" threads. Congrats Mark, she's a beauty.

 

To my knowledge of the car, it was never white. Although my knowledge of the car only goes back to about 60/61 and it was the green by then. I dont know exactly when the nose done, but in 62 it still had stock headlights, but had the tail lights done. It was green up till like 1999/2000. Car had a engine fire that burnt the paint on the tops of the fenders and hood. So the car was restored and then painted the orange it is now.

Most of what I know of the car are from talking to guys about Taboo and its early life. Both cars were very popular in and around Portland and were always at the few popular drive ins in the early 60's

 

Same car Pennington had, I do remember fire, I guess I forgot the green,,
(probably by choice )
the glass gas filter going to carb, crystallize and broke, The way they do often !!!
sure looks better orange !!! imo

 

this thread makes me think of the classic tale of the Emperor's new clothes.

 

Wow, awesome pics and cars. If you did those pics in black and white and got rid of the white truck you would think you were back in the 50's.

 

If I was cruising down your street with those cars out there I'd be in the ditch across the road!

 

I suspect that if something is going down the road, it will be this one... Customs - Denny Heapy's Predator | The H.A.M.B. (jalopyjournal.com)

I'm sure those radial tires are eating at you.... LOLOL

Mark's trying to corner the market on canted quad tri-five Chev customs...
Nice addition!

 

Those three cars belong together, a perfect set. And as much as I'd like to see the '56 in it's original green paint, it's kinda cooler this way, stands out more next to the other green car and the blue.

 

when viewed by itself to me anyways I thought it was really funny looking. this shot puts it in a better perspective. .

I like the green one the best.

 

I'll bet Mark's so happy, you couldn't slap the smile off his face!

 

Is the guy in the background calling your therapist?? Nice addition.

 

I think that the Blue one is the "prettiest" but the interior of the of the new one is just mindboggling to me.

 

I was getting ready to send you a message. Very Kool! It is a purrfect addition to your collection. Congratulations.

 

"Just three tri-five quad headlight chevys in the same yard. Nothing more to see here folks. Move along....."

Congrats Mark! They look awesome together....as we all knew they would.

 

Glad you're happy with the purchase, Mark.
It looks absolutely smashing with the other two. Your neighbors are lucky!

 

Does this mean that my car is semicool?
Its a a convertible, quad headlights, white interior with buckets and a similar grillebar.
Congrats to another cool custom to your collection.

 

Mark, how can you top this thread. But, I`m sure you will.

 

I kinda thought the first new photo Mark would post after the car arrived would be of the car in his spot at Scotty's.

 

If your is cool that would mean mine is as well!!

 

But seriously Mark, this car couldn’t be any more perfect in my eyes.
