I do get your point....and yet I get fired up whenever something OTHER than a 49-51 Ford or Meteor gets called a shoebox!
One of my favorites. Absolutely loved this kustom from the first time I saw it. Nice!!
I had a moderate appeal to Shoeboxes from an early age. I was probably 7 years old in 1984 when I saw Thunder Road for the first time, as was the...
YES!!! x 1,000 percent this!
Very nice, those 51 caps look very good on there!
Once again, I ask, WHY do people grind all the paint off something and then proceed to let it sit outside??
The four-door bashing has declined over the last few years for me. I found our 56 when I was 8, and wanted it because of the impression it left. I...
So very cool...I'm droolin' The car is so aesthetically perfect. And preserved. Congrats on the purchase, awesome to see these historic icons are...
I keep going back to this 57....soooooo clean!
Parts are indeed slow to sell, along with project cars. My buddy has a 59 Fury, primed and ready for paint, loads of parts including all chrome....
Very well said!! At 48, all of my friends and others are still into late 50's, early 60's cars and trucks, plus a few late 60's musclecars. No...
I think most of your points are valid, except the "under 60". I know three guys one province over, in Saskatchewan, who are around my age (48) and...

A couple of weekends ago, my son and a friend of mine went to the southern Ab collection of "Gary's" to do a tour. As it was 10 years since I'd...
I was always curious about that......I mean, I get that back in the 50's and 60's we had a lot of import makes here in North America, but some of...
Might be in the minority, but...... As a bodyman, those stone shields and rocker trims were nothing more than mud and crud collectors, prime for...
Your post gives me hope.... Outside of my son (22), very few in our part of the world (SE Alberta) are into customs or hot rods. I'm still...
I have JUST found this thread, and am not sure how I missed it. Hope everything is better and a speedy recovery was had. In 2008, I bought a 53...
My second ever car I owned was a base model 57 Meteor 2-door sedan. The car was pulled out of the forests of the BC interior way back when. Well,...
Yessir! Love my western Canadian heritage!
I can post additional photos tonight; they attach by very small tabs on the back. I have no clue, but I'm certain I've never seen anything like...
