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

Here's my base for a mild custom. I'll be leaving the 230 flathead where it sits. Very few body mods planned, just need to take care of some sheetmetal work and replace the factory wiring.

My '55 Plymouth Savoy Club Sedan

 

I don't know why we don't see more of these customized.
Here is Eldon Titus' '56, for a little inspiration.

 

Always liked that Plymouth of Eldon's. And like you said Big Swede, it's pretty mild as far as body mods go.

 

Yep, mine will likely keep most of the chrome/stainless as its all still in really good shape.

 

Man, you spoke the truth! Here's Ron Dulin's '56...

 

One more...

 

Ken Sowers' ride...

 

Sorry, but I just now realized you were talking about mine. Thanks for the compliment.

 

Buick hub caps, 55 Pontiac trim upside down..and a original grill that also looks really good some fords and chevys

 

not sure, but as I recall, that is STOCK chrome trim on that P-mouth..not Pontiac.

Kinda like calling that grille a Shoebox grille?

 

You are correct....savoy trim...does look like 55 Pontiac trim..

 

I have both 55 Pontiac & 56 Ply Savoy chrome for sale - if interested pm me

 

^^^ I like the look. How about a close up shot. Thanks, -Dave

 

LOVE the Narrow Whites and Wires!!!...............Centurion9

 

Thank you. -Dave

 

i need more pics of this! love to see the back

 

My '59 is well on its way.....

 

i think my 59 would meet the definition..

 

A little earlier than the period date described at the beginning of the thread, but here's my '47.

 

Nice '47! I'd be more than happy to cruise in your coupe. Flathead?
-Dave

 

Town,

Yes. It has the original flathead in it. It's my daily driver. I've got another flathead sitting at home waiting to be built. Sourcing parts for it now.

 

Cool. Sounds like you have a fun one there. -Dave

 

BTT. Lets get some more going here!

 

Check this beautiful '56 Olds (from Kustomrama).





Grille is combo "51 Stude/'51 Packard, headlights are '53 Ford, side trim is '54 Buick, and tail lights '54 Packard.
(Take note, you young revisionists, who preach that the "whole point" of customizing was to "update" a car, rather than individualize/improve it).

AND, in it's day, this was not a "Mild Custom"! ("Semi Custom" or "Full Custom", yes. "Mild Custom", No!

 

One of my buddies sent me this pic. Beautiful!!

 

Here's a classic....
