1957 ford bubble top custom

[Plowboy]

I usually don't like bubble top customs. But, I really like this! So often customizers overdo a car and make it unrecognizable. This is still recognizable as a '57 Ford. The paintwork puts the icing on the cake! Excellent work!

Just so perfectly "period" correct.  I love the paint work, sets the car off so well.

Cool custom.  I really dig the paint job.

[Phildaupho]

Very well done. I am sure Mr. Starbird and Mr. Gustavson would agree !!

I love this!   A fresh original twist on an old favourite and yet I recognise all the elements.  To be honest, I am seeing more factory dream car than custom but I don't think that is a bad thing!  The paint is simply sensational, I simply can't imagine a more appropriate treatment than this and that corrugated trim on the rear deck is brilliant!

What makes me grin even more is that I have its alter ego started in a box somewhere here.  I am grafting a 57 Fairlane roof and glass onto the Predicta - gives a Cushenberry "Marquis" look to it.  It stalled because I hadn't come up with a headlight treatment yet - this is giving me ideas!

Cheers

Thanks Alan , I like the idea of a Factory Dream Car over calling it a custom, it just has the right ring to it , can’t wait to see your version with the ‘57 fairlane top on the predicta body , wish I had thought of that!

Very nice!  It looks almost like the Ford Mystere show car.

A well done custom. This would even look right at home as a 1 to 1 show car.

Slick. Ready for the show circuit. I like those old style kustoms.
