My daughter ran across this photo of my high school sweetheart. Yes, It’s a 1950 Ford Business Coupe Custom. I did a great deal of the work while in my Sophomore and Junior
year. Some of the mods include:
• Frenched head and tail lights
• Decked front and rear
• ’54 Pontiac grill and rear fender skirts
The interior was black & white naugahide pattern.
This photo was taken for the school paper at Menlo-Atherton H.S. in 1955. Check out the guy with hair and blue suede shoes!
