Features The Definitive "MILD CUSTOM" Photo Thread....

I've always favored the basic interiors of the 1955 Chevy 210 and 1957 150 sedans, overall, the 56 models never excited me much until one of my workmates bought a 56 DelRay two door sedan in the late 90's, it was an untouched original turquoise/white car with all original matching interior, gorgeous car.

 

...And a tube grille!

I really like this one, although I can't fathom how they got the front end so low, damn. Clearly this car had paint and bodywork done on it, but it still has door handles which I find interesting. I plan to add lake pipes to my '52 when I get it out again, the more I see 52-56 Ford cars with them, the more I like that look.

 

Wish they would have left Compton in Compton, otherwise, I love that car. !!!!!

Article states its CHANNELED, wonder if they understand, that means body dropped over the frame.


what is the name on side?

 

And a '55 Ford grille too! A while back I had someone in the Photoshop thread swap out my current grille for a '55 Ford center section to see what it'd look like, and it sure looks a lot like this car. I might still have to do this. (Also, while looking for this photoshopped pic, I found I already had pics of this car saved! Don't remember seeing it but I must have before)

 

I don 't think that is same car, i.e. not low enuff, mirrors, spotlights, license plate bolts on different,, and my gut feelin'

 

even the channeling would cause steering problems - knew a guy from way back when that heated springs to lower it - no suspension left & rode worse than a truck - but, sure looked Cool
