History Edsel grilles in customs

Ran across this car in an old Rodding and Re Styling magazine. I believe I saw a white car in the knobs vs. tube grille thread with Edsel grilles on their side similar to this . Any other examples out there?

 

This one, lost in the Barris fire (1957), must be the first.


This Buick was done in 1959.

 

Fortunately, this one is still around!

Those Studebaker pans are pricier now, I’m too cheap to buy a pair now to make a grille surround, most now seem to be trashed by poor drivers[emoji21]

Don't forget the Crown Coupe.................

 

This is the one Sancho posted in the other thread.

 

Oh my goodness! Talk about conflicting design.

 

Yeah...are those Cougar retractable headlights? And you can see wraparound tail lights coming around the bottom of the rear fender.

 

That's actually just "bumperesque" trim that wraps around. Tailights are inline with that trim at bottom of rear panel.

 

Dave Stuckey built this nice Forty for Don Moore, back in 1962. Car looks much the same today.
