Interesting. The pictures sure don't do it justice. I "kinda" like it, but I'm not positive I'd want it, if you get my drift. Very creative.

 

Not a totally successful attempt at building a 'Crown Victoria' IMO......

 

Very nice, don't see many of these. Would need a vintage air system to drive and enjoy here in GA.

 

I arree, Saf & KK. Something about this design that doesn't work. Nice car, but, something is off. I could evaluate it piece by piece but, suffice it to say that it just didn't get there.

 

That is a 56 by the side trim.

 

That confused me too, rat. I had a 56 and am still confused by this car???:confused:

 

There's too much undecorated real estate from the door back on the side and the tailgate looks too "plain". Maybe woodgrain would set it off better? But still a lot of good work put into it.

 

Okay, here's my expert opinion and advice. First it's a 1956 Ford two door wagon. Secondly I love it but would repaint it red and white. Third, I'd add some sort of Nomadish tailgate strips down the rear. And to add a little to the plain rear quarter area I'd add the Ford accessory fenderskirt trim they had.
Maybe front and rear bumper guards and those raised bumper end protector wings if they were made for a 56 Ford. And wide white wall tires. No matter what, it just doesn't look like a real Crown Vic.
When I was in high schoool, my uncle had a 1956 Crown Victoria that was white and Buckskin brown (tittie pink). I lived with him and my aunt so rode and drove it a lot in 56-57! Got 9 MPG so even at 35 cents a gallon uncle thought that was terrible.
