Some '57 at the grand national roadster show this weekend
Do you have the wagon, but missed the driving time so I parked at the Sheraton
Good show. I picked up a 57 tailgate to clean up for my wagon. It was a prearranged drop off.

I thought that the yellow Ranchero was cool,.....until I seen ANOTHER stupid Chevy LS engine masquerading as a Ford Y Block. :angry5:

It really is a beautiful car, but yeah it could have been so much cooler with a real y-block, or even a coyote if they were going for a more modern powerplant.
Sweet rides, Abe ! Especially like the golden/beige/greyish metallic Ranchero. color and style of wheels/tires are really cool imho. That grill insert in the 58 also works great! Olds headlight rims on the 55 are very clever as well ! Neat and tidy details that really make those cars stand out.

The grill on the 58 is a Canadian Meteor grill

Is it just me or does the 55 have 57 70A side trim?
Terry. Yeah looks like 57 side trim. I thought it was interesting.
That was the gag on the yellow Ranchero. It's by Brizio hotrods. Uber clean. I forgot to check to see if it has springs in the hood or not.
Fun show. A of international car entries. A few Swedish. Some Japanese.
