    Boy is that an odd duck......
    Somebody went to an awful lot of trouble.
    Obviously has a lot of difficult labor into it, but I don't think the end result is worth it. You still have a Ford wagon underneath. Was any attention paid to NVH, to make it as quiet as a Rolls? (Oh...I forget. Fords were as quiet as a Roll Royce - their commericals said so.)

    Also note - really sweatin' the details putting in power windows for the front, but leaving the back doors with cranks in a 'Rolls Royce'.......

    Still beats that 'Eldorado Corvette' in the regular car section for execution though.......

    The good thing is that it's not mine and I didn't invest any time/money into it.

    I can't really explain it, but I kind of like this Ford-Royce mutation.

    I kind of like it. Too bad the roofline is so easily definable as a '71 Ford. Whoever customized it did a great job.

    Only thing I like is the silver and maroon color choice. The rest of it can go away, especially that too-light-of-wood dash!
