    Looks like an old custom with the molded grill surround and the rounded hood corners...

    Very cool to find a shoebox ragtop...

    Wish I had never, ever sold the 51 Convertible I bought in 1971 from a kid in Andalusia Alabama for $50. Running and driving, bad top, leather trimmed seats.
    I nosed it and decked it and replaces the 51 uglies out back with 49-50 cats' eyes.

    You've got one and I'm jealous but will recover. Enjoy, these are great cars with extreme potential as subtle customs, which has been started on yours.

    Cool find! I had a '51 shoebox 'vert project back in '82 and I traded it for a Triumph 650 chopper. One of my stupider moves.
