No, since guys who love the cluttered up look don't like fender skirts, as they make the appearance of a car smoother and cleaner. |

Location: The Mile High City | I gotta say, if you must have a Continental kit - that's a pretty good way to do it - especially for the 1959 Dodge with the sectioned bumper. I think it is better than extending the whole bumper out and having gap fillers. |

Location: The Mile High City | ...and, if that rear spare is fixed, you pretty much have to have a luggage rack since the trunk is now non-functional. it all makes sense! |

| I think the continental kit on the 57 Ford was a function addition. When I was a young kid a family had one and when the top was up there was a lot of truck room but when the top was retracted there was very little trunk room. |

Not realy, always part of the option list during the FL years, unlike those goofy continental kits an wire wheels. |

Location: Idaho - where men are men and spuds are spuds | It would be interesting to see what the front of the car looks like. Maybe a light bar in the grille with yellow fog lamps??? |

Location: WA/USA | Well, if you think about it the luggage rack makes sense. With the continental kit blocking any reasonable access to the trunk....... the rack comes in pretty handy!
