The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Period photo of an accessorized Sport Coupe

I have handled many thousands of antique photos and this one is OLD. It does not look or feel anything like a 50's or 60's photo would and it has a burn on the corner, wrinkles and the general type of age and crazing you see on a photo that old.

In enlarging it here I see that it is a period license plate, it has a bent front bumper, looks like a very nice repaint (you can see his pants reflected in the paint on the door) with non factory stripe and the whitewalls are painted on.

Tim......Thanks for that neat photo of yours, the headlight visors look very similar. The out- board motor is neat and the hubcaps are pretty wild.
