1952-59 Ford Pic of the night

in some ways cute but in another way grotesque with the out of proportion parts

 

This car was posted on facebook do not have owner info but would like to see detail on the hood hinges as we know the stock 52-54 hinges really ****.

 

Argh... Flipped shackles!!

 

A lil Chop makes it perfect

 

perfect combo DQ and a 54 ford convert

 

Please Santa I really will be a good boy if you bring me that red 57 wagon.

 

Santa might be saving that red one for himself!

 

Great pics, Jeff. Do you, or anybody else, have a pic of a '58 Wagon or sedan delivery showing the roof? I'm trying to find out if the '58 wagons had ribs like the sedans and hardtops.

Thanks Jeff.....guess I coulda figured that search out. Apparently as near as I can tell from pics of 57s and 58s, the wagons both had ribs on the back half.

 

Thanks. Pretty car!! The reason I was asking is a friend showed me a pic of a '58 sedan delivery he was thinking about buying. It had the '57 round tailights. I knew the '58 Rancheros had the '57 tailights, but had no idea the sedan deliveries were different from the wagons that had the oval p***enger car design.. I thought maybe it was a '57 with a 58 front sheetmetal, and was looking at clues that might confirm what I thought, like the '58's ribbed roof,.........but I was wrong......sedan deliveries are different tailights than wagons. I don't have a clue as to why.

 

1958 Ranchero - I didn't pay much attention to the shape of the tail lights until you mentioned it.

 

Correction per later comments - This car is a 1958 Custom, not a Fairlane.

 

1958 wagon

 

1958 Courier

 

Interesting variation. Me*** listed this as a 1958 transitional model with 1957-style front end. Was this an actual production variation, or a rebuild with a combination of 57 and 58 parts?
