Re: [FWDLK] Stuck in the 50's or just sightly into the 60's.

I prefer a car stock myself but I still get a kick out of remembering what my Dad did to his cars when he still cared more about how they looked (then) than how comfy they are (now).

 

He always liked to raise the front end a few inches (the car always looked like you were punching the gas) and install the kind of headlights that looked like the top halves were chrome... what the heck were those were called?

 

His cars ALWAYS had to be 2 door hardtops and preferably ALL black. The whole thing came together best on the all black '62 Impala SS.

 

(BTW Tom, I'm originally from Southern Ohio too, Wheelersburg)

I like them on fairly large, round, tail lights.

 

I just took them off my 36 Plymouth.  It has 39 Ford tail lights

and I didn't like them with the blue dots.  Too narrow and smooth.

Got the new lenses at the Pumpkin Run.    Hi'ya Charles.  ;-)

 

My 55 Coronet also has a blanket seat cover, spots, and split

manifold with duals and glasspacks (flathead six engine). Lots

of vintage window decals and dragstrip stickers.  I have fender

skirts, lake pipes and wide whites but I'm not "wearing" them

at this time.

Nothing wrong with the 50's and 60's.
