I think that the fact that a woman was a club member and that she wanted her car somewhat customized is more unusual than the actual work that was done. In the mid to late 50's it seems the only time one saw a woman involved with custom cars were the girls giving out the trophies at the shows or the members girlfriends or wives.

Sorry.....pretty hard to improve on the classic lines of a 1957 Chev Bel Air two door hardtop. I'll take the original.
