Customs Let's see some 50's era customs

I'm building a '47 Dodge Coupe and I would like to see some inspirational and idea provoking pics. Or if some of you old timers can let me know what styling cues we dominating at the time. Dodge example would be great, but I can't imagine there being too many of those.

Thanks in advance guy's

 

There's a thread for that on here.Do a search.

 

I did a search and did not find anything. if you find something a cut and paste, or even title would be helpful.

 

6 pages of not "50's era customs" when I tried a search.I think a thread like the 40's threads is relavant.Lets see the pictures.

 

Go to Riksters site http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/ and start looking. Best reference there is.

 

Yep that's what I'm lookin for.

 

Here's one.... 47 Ford built in the 80's , but to a 50's style.

 

any more?

 

How about customs from like 50 to 54 maybe even 55, after that I think things got a little crazy in the world of customs.

 

Damn!

 

I remember that Ford.Have a pic of it from Holland at the KKOA meet.

 

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Not radical but pic taken in 1955. Quality of pic not good but what do you expect when you carry a pic in your billfold for 50 years. Stylemaster coupe nosed and decked, hood louvered, headlights frenched and hooded, '50 Lincoln tailights and Firestone 600 X 16's with full chrome smooth hubcaps.
