1949 Ford trim

I'm arguing with myself about which would look better on the side of a shoebox car....

1. 1953 Buick "sweep" trim

2. 1955/56 Pontiac trim.

I've seen lots of Mercs done with 53 Buick trim....not so much on the shoeboxes.
Does anyone have pictures of either? I've looked and can't find any. I also know my searching skills suck.

I have a Business coupe with a 5 inch chop. I want to make it two toned which is why I am leaning towards 53 Buick.

 

The 55 poncho trim looks great, and is not terribly uncommon. I have never seen the buick trim on 49-51, I think that would look really great.

 

Here are some examples from Rikster's site of the '53 Buick trim used on shoeboxes.

Another possibility is the '54-'56 Buick side trim, which was occasionally used on shoeboxes back when with good results.

 

if you want a change that,s true 50,s 54 olds 88 trim great for 2-tone

 

And beyond that, 54 98 trim would be awesome, though I'm not sure how it would fit.

 

definitly the 55' pontiac starchief trim on a shoebox. maybe oneday Iwill find a set when I have some cashola!!

 

54 Olds from a tudor works good for color splitting.That is what I used on mine.Go to www.timebombs.ca in the gallery you`ll see frienShoeze and friends.Click on it and there are a few good shots there.Sorry having issues with posting pics..Time-Bomb John
