1950's Ford Gasser

On dirait ton ex ariane Gerald   Moi je trouve que c'est assez original justement qu'elle soit super clean  

La mienne était pourtant bien dirty....
mais je vois ce que tu veux dire...
le coté "4x4", avec la couleur de la Fairlane 58....
une sorte d'amalgame inconscient et ponctuel....
mais j'ai eu cette émotion à la vue de la première image de cette '55  

Oui c'est au niveau du côté "haut sur pattes" et les lignes générale de ces Ford par rapport aux Ariane (m^me si a mon avis ce sont les Ford 52-54 les plus proche des lignes des Simca).

TRUE MILEAGE UNKNOWN BUT ORIGINAL MOTOR HAD 70K BEFORE A TOP END REBUILD WAS COMPLETED . A VERY COOL , 1956 FORD GASSER COUPE -  AUTHENTIC 60'S-ERA VERSION. THIS IS A FAITHFUL, PROFESSIONALLY-REBUILT/RESTORED GASSER AND VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING IS NEW EXCEPT WHERE NOTED. THE BODY WORK ALONE IS WORTH THE PRICE. REBUILD WAS COMPLETED IN LATE 2013. GREAT MIX OF OLD AND NEW THAT CAPTURES THE ORIGINAL FEEL OF YESTERYEAR'S GASSER WITH THE RELIABILITY/DRIVEABILITY OF TODAY.

THIS IS A FUN STREET DRIVER THAT RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT.  FRAME-ON REBUILD COMPLETED BY A PRO PENNSYLVANIA-LICENSED REPAIR SHOP THAT SPECIALIZES IN HOT RODS, RAT RODS AND PERFORMANCE UPGRADES. CAR IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN PA AS AN ANTIQUE  - THIS IS NOT A BARN FIND OR SHADETREE PROJECT THAT WAS ABANDONED.

"BONE SHAKER"

Hilborn Injected 541 cubic inch "Boss 429"

This is an excellent example of the race cars that ran in the NHRA "Gasser" series from the late 50's to the early 70's. This 1957 Ford is no exception to the flamboyant cars, extravagant engines, and huge wheel stands that drew in the crowds 50 years ago and still puts a smile on your face today.
