    Some here won't consider this a "Custom", but whatever you call it, it's a whole lot nicer than "Just "Stock"!

    Funny, I don't recall ever seeing the '55 Plymouth grille used on other customs back in the day, but I've seen it used several times in the last couple of years. I think it really works as a custom grille, and is a lot more distinctive than the over-used Chev, DeSoto, and Pontiac grilles that have been standard issue on mild customs for years. JMO, of course.
