1948 Ford Old School Custom coupe

[thatz4u]

1948 Ford Custom Coupe, something like George & Sam Barris might have done in the early days...Lincoln tail lights, 41 Olds grille, Desoto bumpers, 50 Olds spinnner Caps & OHV 50 Olds V-8, bit of a tail dragger, ...comments welcome

Great work on the old Ford Al. The flames and the white wall make that blue pop.

Nice, neat little build. Looks good.

Would have been quite the item back in the day. Something the Fonz would have had to say "Ehhhh" about. Nice era capture. Great job.

Mario, thanks, I tried to make it look 50's style..

Excellent period correct custom!

As you described, this has the early build style, that just doesn't go out of style. Dodge offered a shade of blue like this in the early '50's that was popular on many custom street cars of the day. The Olds gill and the "ripple bumpers" were often seen as well. Anyone owning a '55 Olds had to buy hub caps often. Great ventage look and finishes.

The 48 Ford is looking good.

Great '50s/'60s street rod, Al.  Looks like something right out of American Graffiti!

Nothing like an old skool Kustom with flames. Good job.
