Customs Images of tri-five Ford's...

Some local custom Fords - including an earlier picture of Ralph Weflan's sectioned '56 which 1stGrumpy posted in #3505. Ralph did everything including bodywork, paint & upholstery himself in his backyard (no garage!).:

Found another (my apologies if these get duplicated - as I forget to which posts I have contributed!).

That section job on that '56 is terrific! I've never seen one before.

 

Ooops! That third one I posted ('54) was obviously not a '55, 6 or 7! Sorry guys and gals..

I think the third one(?) coulda been a 1957. I know this thread about "tri-five" Fords was created after the similar Chevy one, but the Chevy 55-56-57 were off the same body, not the Ford 55-56 and the "new" 57. Maybe we need a new Plymouth tri-five where a 57 is grouped with the 55 and 56.

 

You need to go by the frames…. Chevrolet work’s out good with 55-56-57 as the 54 and 58 were totally different. Ford, if you need 3 years may be 54-55-56 but 57-58-59 is better as 60-up were totally different. 52-53-54 Fords are often linked.
To me FOMOCO and MOPAR link 55-56 better.

 

Car turned out really nice Jeff….I'd be showing it off to.

 

Nice!.....

 

This is NOT @jimmy six late for Saturday donuts!

 

I can bust mine loose dry at a light so with enough water and I think I could do this….only I don’t have a posi of any kind..The wife even liked it!!!

 

The single row of louvers on the fender skirts here reminds me of a wall register

 

Posted this in the CL thread, my old altered WB 57 from back in the 80s.
