He did what FOMOCO was too cheap to do.
Absolutely beautiful detail.

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
You can see that the roof is not from a 55-56 wagon. Could have come from a 59 Edsel- seems that the y had a lot lower profile. A beautiful build in any case.

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
The roof would have to have been chopped as the HDTP had a lower/sorter WS (and door glass) than the SEDAN and SW.
I am wondering why he didn't trim it out with 1956 PARKLANE MLDGS ... ... KULTULZ - Stand in a bread line and ask for toast ...

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
^^^^ It also has a 1955 "V8" emblem on front of fender. Love the colors!
Those 14 in. wheels & caps look pretty good on there, too. IMH.

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
Yes, my first car (a '56 4 dr. wagon) had the T Bird emblems, w/a 292 from the factory. - F F
