    Pretty sure that has been Photo-shopped. No Courier was harmed...yet.

    I agree with Brodie. Looks like Photoshop. Car definitely needs some steelies and www's. And get rid of that stupid mural.

    definetly photoshopped..maybe both images, and maybe neither is as the car actually is. May not even be a courier. I really really like the tire and wheel combo on the first photo. Maybe if the beach scene was turned into a **** beach scene, lol

    They both look photoshopped but even so, the first image is much nicer looking. The mural has got to go though...

    Guess I'll have to chime in on this one. Do not like the wheels/tires in the first photo. Don't love the after photo but lots better than the first. Like those wheels but would not run that size.

    The more I look, the more I see. It's a phantom. The rear quarter trim is 56 Mainline. The nose is 55 with Fairlane headlamp trim. If it was a 55 Courier it wouldn't have stainless windshield trim; not sure about 56 Mainline Couriers. Ranch Wagon, maybe?

    Man you know your cars.. I couldnt get to that point, but one thing I can tell you: its definitely a fake - the distance from the top of the roof to the house on the right roof's peak is the same, be it in the car's rake on the first pic or its heavy lowered ride height on the second.
    Someone grabbed a pic and played with it.

    The wheels in the top pic are horrible. Bottom ones are better, but too large. Maybe some 17's would be a good fit
