Customs 1950 Ford-if only they all could be found like this..

i ride around on my cycle or my hotrods and look at peoples garage doors and barns and wonder whats in there that needs a shave or 4 inches off the top or a hemi 53 up or flattie shoved in it and ran with the hood off, Hell Yhea.

 

Its got a flattie in it duh!!!

Anyways, funny thing happend yesterday when BigChief stopped by & while we were talking about hiting Macs monday morning to get brakes & all new hoses/belts...we found them tucked away in a bag in the trunk under the new wide whites....So Dad started tonight by removing all the old belts and hoses....lmao..

 

That steering wheel is a super rare accessory. The crestline trim was an option that is fairly rare.

 

what a score! that car is for sure a keeper. post some more pic's and lets see some of the trophys it won because somebody might have some pic's from the show.

 

Wow!

 

wow. good story. better car.
congrats to your dad on that one.

 

If anything its prob just the local shows around my area. Nothing major just something small i would like to keep with the car is all....I just hope he finds them and does bring them by,,,it would be kool!!

I know...i about lost it when i saw it being a kustom guy myself...It was one of those situations where you didnt want to get over excited but got the jitters too...its pretty crazy!

Thats how i feel...dont get me wrong i love 55's but just getting soo bored over them cause they are all starting to look the same. Grant it, my Dads car has been that way for a looong time but it is still hiding alot wich we knew back when we bought it but its no where near what this car is even on its worse day if it was to ever have one...lol...He seems alot happier wich is all that matters plus flatties have always been his thing.

Thanks for all the response...anymore info on Crestliners post them up please!!

 

It's gonna get lowered and chopped, right? And lose the vinyl top and goofy trim?

 

Of course,,,i just bought a ****load of skull acessories, bullet hole stickers & a leopard print blanket for it so it should be in next months issue of Old Skool Rodz

 

Well i figured i'd bring this back to the top..My parents decided to move back to Florida and have sold the house here in New York so decission has been made to find a new home for the Crestline. Its being listed in the cl***ifieds & etc so please if anyone is interested feel free to contact me.Thanks...Tom

 

Reminds me of mine that I had in High school in '65...mine was green and black with a V-8...So many cars that we should have kept... go figure....

 

It's a crestliner......came with the vinyl top and cove-type side trim.....steering wheels like that are being reproduced for about $2300....just the steering wheel?
My first car was a 50 crestliner so I have a soft spot for them...
