    @K13 - Righteous man, looks very cool. Bleds great with your updated frontend treatment.

    I'm digging the Stude wheelcovers in your pic too!

    @51 mercules Hard to argue with a genuine throwback. Beautiful.

    Modified headlights is one of those things that define a "custom" in my opinion. I'm looking for some input like "1955 Mercury headlight bezels work great on X". I was thinking these (or '55 Ford) would be a good addition to an earlier model. Seems like most of the car brands had rounded front fenders in the early '50's.

    French Cibie lights became very popular around 1964.
    Barris used quite a few on some show and movie cars. As I recall, they were illegal in the USA at the time
    but were actually similar to the rectangular lights which became popular in the seventies.
