    Very cool. What kind of tail lights are those? They look like maybe Caddy lights grafted on to some type of grille.

    Awesome car! I think the caddy lights are mounted to a 12V electric horn grill.

    Thanks !
    The body of te car is rotten :) All bottom of the car is rust. Hole in te metal etc...
    But the engine looks good and the cars is 100% of origin. Never restore... Always French because it's an americain serviceman who returned it in France during the 50's.
    I like that and I would like to keep this rats look. Just repair the bottom of the body.
    I've replace the tail lights with the original. ( I prefer).

    Fix the front emblem ( the plane). I will fix the chrome on the side of the body ( what is the name ?) It's miss an parts of this chrom. I search about it. It's this parts :

    ...

    Search about the horn ring (chrome) and the tail emblem (ford) and his chrom.
    My wife will make a new interior (seat etc...) with brown (rust) similli leather.

    I've paint the front grill in black mat. Because it was paint in metal grey (not good). The black is less ugly ;-)
