Cool kustom Ranchero with cool Packard tail lights!

 

And too too many...............

 

Kinda funny, the hood won't shut .

 

LOL

 

Just perfect.
Anyone have a rear view of this. Looks like another light or something has been added under the taillight?

 

Edsel wagon taillights.

 

Thank you,
I thought they were something different than the Edsel lights from the side view.

Many here will recognize this as an early version of Richard Lee Tiago's famous pickup.







You may not know that the early version has been cloned.

I really do like the 2nd version of Richard Lee Tiago's famous pickup, it's so wild that it's cool. I'd drive it! It's still around isn't it? I thought it was unrestored and sitting in a shop somewhere, am I right?

 

According to Kustomrama, it is owned by Bruce Heather, who plans a "full restoration".
Given that the photo is from 1997, that would seem to be a big slice of "Rainbow Pie"!

 

This is amazing! Do you have any more pics???

 

Nope sure wish I did it's a beaut.

 

Ive been looking really close at this picture and am beginning to wonder if its just a really good photoshop job?

 

Shadows underneath look ok and the slanted upper rail of the bed would be pretty hard to do but I'm no expert.
