    Factory fender skirts look fine on a ‘55 and ‘56. Ones on the 57-59 don’t look right. The wheel wells look fine without any.

    A photo of Bosse Ericsson’s custom Crown Victoria pickup taken in the early 1960s. The photo was taken in Åland, during a junkyard trip. A Model T coupe body is loaded up on the bed of the car. In 1986 the Crown Victoria was owned by Christian Forslin in Stockholm. Photo courtesy of Wheels Magazine.

    Seeing the rear photo I don’t believe is a CV conversion. I think it’s a Ranch Wagon with the tiara top and sides and the rear passenger section converted. The rear “appears” to have a fold down wagon tail gate.
