'56 Vic as it was first completed with '55 grille and side trim, '55 Olds headlights, '65 GTO hood scoop, '93 Crown Vic wheels and skinny WWs. Custom bodywork by Gary Minor. (Concreteman photo)

Wow! There are only two things that strike me as odd about this car. The center caps and the 65 GTO scoop. I think the scoop would look better without the split. Just my opinion... the rest of the car is pure porn to me!

The center caps are temporary; the hood scoop is one of my favorite features of the car. Glad you liked the rest!

Love your car, not real fond of the scoop also just because I don't like hood scoops. If I had to have a scoop, I think I would have gone with a '55-'57 T-Bird scoop. Just my opinion, every thing else is perfect...

What engine/ trans are you running?

I looked at the T-Bird scoop, which would have made sense on the car, but the GTO is just better looking.

It's running a 289, C4 and 8", all from a mid-'60s Mustang.

Love it.

Yes, it's one sweet Vicky...love that metallic slate! If you visit Rik Hoving's site of custom cars, you'll find this (your) car there. I knew that it looked familiar. I have to compliment your great taste in transportation that you've chosen over the last 55 years.

One of the nicest '56 mild customs I have seen (and probably the ONLY one I've seen since the early '60's w/ Merc. tail-lights. Lincoln hubcaps give it a nice touch of elegance. Simply bitchin.....not to mention the memories (friend of mine in high school had a black '56 w/ white TJ tuck & roll.....)

Updated drive train in fall '10: 351W warmed up with AFR alu heads, Engle/Edelbrock/Holley/MSD, electonic AOD, 3.80 rear end gear. Much stronger than the 289, still long legged for the highway.

This car is amazing, I love the subtle custom touches. I'm considering the Olds bezel conversion for my 55 RanchWagon too, you don't have photos of the process by chance do you? Thanks, Jake
