Featured History The Gribble Starliner

Prettiest Ford I ever owned was the '60 Starliner I had when I was in the Navy.

 

I dig everything about that car. The rear grill matching the front grill idea has been bouncing around my head for years after seeing a couple of cars that way. The stock decorative rear panel on my 63 already mimic the look of the grill. So many ideas, so little skill to make them real

 

and they made great lookin' "Stock Cars" 2

 

Is it just me or does it seem odd that they had the windows up at that show? Hardtop should show that off.

 

From my archive, shot at the April '67 show at the Great Western hall in LA, using my trusty Instamatic.

 

Love those '60/ '61 Starliners. They look so good unaltered it's almost a sin to modify them......almost.

 

My Father had 2 of them and I never got over him selling them.
A 61 Starliner is on my bucket list.
Thank You

 

Funny that Tom took those photos of the rivi, believe there’s a similar one creeping around KC currently.

1: 18” holy shit I bet that looked insane lit up at night!

2: Totaly agree about cars looking/ reading different in photos vs real life.

 

The crushed up rear license plate?????

 

That is a nice looking Starliner, too bad we don't see more of them as mild customs.

 

Yep.
And this could be your start, right here:
1961 Ford Starliner “NEW PRICE” | The H.A.M.B.

 

I see what you did there.

This Starliner is much simpler, but reminds me of @KIRK! 's "May Cause Dangerous".

 

IMO, the 1960 and 1961 Ford Starliners were the best looking cars to ever come out of Detroit.

 

Agreed - love those things.....someone on here had a really nice "survivor" one for sale

 

My dad bought a brand new 60 Starliner. Red with a white top. I remember standing in the back seat with my fingers touching the chrome stars on the sail panel. It was pretty car.

 

This is the Bones Noteboom, Winfield painted Riviera. It currently looks similar to this and It’s for sale and going to auction soon with an estimated price of 200K

 

I’m very familiar with the car, as I worked on all of Bones’s cars. I’ve even driven this one and it’s the car that created my love affair with Rivi’s but I seriously doubt it will go that high,
I completely agree with you Ryan

 

I agree Mark, it’s better in person but I could leave them off and like it more

 

Yeah, that car is BAD ASS!!!!

 

IT’S STILL AVAILABLE BOYS
