Description:
This 1956 Ford has seen a frame off, full nut and bolt restoration. This Ford has been owned by the same family since it rolled out of the showroom in 1956. The father passed it on to one of his daughter's and then her husband wanted to see it brought back to it's former glory. He did that and more. Starting a project like this is easy, finishing is the hard part! The restoration was easy to start because the car has always lived in Idaho's rust free climate. Getting it finished took a team of professionals and wow what a car and job well done. It's a resto rod but they didn't take it too far from stock. The original 272 Y Block and transmission was fully rebuilt and still powering this Ford. The frame and body, running gear is all stock. The custom touches are the grill, shaved handles, Frenched turn signals, Headlights, louvered hood and of course a very tasteful all custom interior. The paint is 3 parts black with 1 part green and little metallic for some depth. The factory trim was replaced by "ghost rainbow" trim. The underside is as stunning as the top side, be sure to look at the photos. Fantastic upholstery and professionally done headliner. Everything is brand new in the interior and done to perfection. Painted to match dash with working gauges. One other nice upgrade is the front DISC brakes, this car is well sorted and ready for the open road.
