Customs Favorite Shoebox style

Makes a huge difference to lose even just the rear vent windows in my opinion. This is a great looking car with just some simple changes from stock. Timely post for me.

 

Agreed - I love it all - The stance, The caps, The color, The trim - this car just works! I can understand deleting the front vents too - but because of the lack of a wrap around windshield (and resulting angle of the A pillar) you're right back to "cant tell if its coming or going" again

 

This is the one I am going to see this evening and after a stance adjustment, losing that vent window would likely be the next thing on the list if I end up with it...

 

Somebody had to do it...
this is a shoebox:

 

Yup - I grew up calling them shoebox chevys (and had half a dozen of them over that time period) LONG before I ever knew what a shoebox ford was....

 

Good luck - looks solid!

 

It is definitely solid and fired right up after not running for the last year or so. Made an offer and the widow that owns it asked if she could consider a couple days. Her husband of 57 years died less than a year ago and she has just now decided to start selling stuff. Anyway, she contacted a friend of mine looking to sell it. I probably offered more than I normally would have. But, I also believe that we are to look after the widows and orphans. I told her I would help her sell it if she would like to try to get more. I’ll report back on what she decides.

 

I agree with you 99% of the time but then there’s Brian Bass’ 49… this is a rare photo with the hood on. Pure hot rod
