I think this may be my favorite ford roadster EVER. the head lights are just right on the edge of crossing the line and i think thats what makes it pop to me so much. risky choice, yet very sucessful. i want it!
I can see myself completly baffled late at night trying to figure out what the hell is coming down the road at me with four close together headlights. I'd probably think it was a CJ-5 with weird rally lights. Like everybody else, I like except the lights. They make it look like somebody was trying to keep an older rod up to date in the late 50s.
Dude I love that CAR!! Funny thing I just picked that car for a print for the art show.. I have a few good shots of it..
I like the package. Another one of those early "dare to do it his way" and not like all the oneabe so called traditional hot rods of today with all the rust and no paint.
I like it. Very in keeping with the "ginchy" style of the time, but without the wild paint. And obviously a quality build. To further the look, I would probably install hooded gauges across the dash. My '29 roadster will run a 430 Lincoln engine with six carbs and the Lincoln steering-wheel, so hooded gauges and such will be part of the late '50s theme, but with restrained paint such as this car has. No quad headlights though.
