Saw this out in the wild.

Nice, unchopped Merc 2dr, slammed, caddy caps on whites, frenched lights, in primer.

Here's a shiny version...

My first job was lot boy at a typical SoCal used car place.
These, I believe, are '50's, but there was a '51 on the lot (the whole time I worked there) that was in between these in condition and state of modification.
I thought it was the coolest car I had ever seen and always spent extra time with it in the morning start-up and wipe down routine.
Aghast at their practices, I developed a lifelong distrust of such places of business before owning my first car.

Seen at the zoo

Nice.

Ya don't see Rancheros niced up very often.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-16-2019, 05:33 PM

I see full sized Rancheros once in a great while but the Falcon based have virtually disappeared. The Fairlane/Torino trucks I just don't notice unless one is smack in front of me at a light. I guess I'm just not attracted to ugly.

Last night I went out drinkin'
In my old daddy's Lincoln
I hit a tree
And I killed a friend

I began to cry and holler
Cuz he owed me twenty dollars
And I knew
I'd never see it again

Smart parking a '77-ish Continental.

This is the ultimate '51 custom. Bill Hines was the Grand Po-bah of chopped Lincolns. He used old school lead and smoked fat cigars constantly, it's a wonder he lived to 94. Larry Watson was the dean of custom paint.
