Design through tires and suspension.
So I'm sitting here listening to hockey on the radio and surfing. I came across this coupe on social media from new zealand. Maybe I'm stepping some boundaries by re-posting the images. But it's such a change I thought it's worth it. Previous on the bottom.
Might be a member here also. I do like your style. I'll delete if you prefer not to post this again. Last edited by Tinker; 10-25-2018 at 09:19 PM. |

Re: Design through tires and suspension.
Sexy. Previous woulda suited me better with black wheels and no trim rings. Getting to where I don't love whitewalls, but the after shot is pretty!
Being critical, next time they should shoot the driver's side so the antennae isn't so prominent.

Re: Design through tires and suspension.
Tangled, to me it's the rake and tire size. Oh course the skirts don't hurt. But we all have opinions to share and appreciate.
I'm a white wall guy, although they are not 4" Dick Tracy cartoon whites ( which look good to me) . But I think the rake and other elements are nice. Blackwalls certainly are nice, but I don't want this to be a whitewall/blackwall thing. Appreciate the design change. well anyway... the Minnesota wild beat the la kings tonight: 4 - 1. .

Re: Design through tires and suspension.
They did BTW an antenna, especially a correct one such as that is, to me, a badge of honor.

Re: Design through tires and suspension.
Skirts give the car a sleeker body profile.

Re: Design through tires and suspension.
Similar rake to mine, G78-15's and L-78's, wide whites, red wheels, small caps and beauty rings.

Re: Design through tires and suspension.
I'm not a fan of skirts in general, but they sure look nice on that car!

Re: Design through tires and suspension.
Guess I should have said the lack of rake. I guess 0 rake is still rake.
I know it's not a zephyr, but skirts give it a bit more length and style. Just my opinion. |

Re: Design through tires and suspension.
While I respect what others like, I was never a fan of skirts on a fat fendered Ford

Re: Design through tires and suspension.
I’m not an expert but I own a 39 (which that appears to be) and the antenna is on the roof just above the windshield.

Rarely seen these days, I have seen them listed by some suppliers. Oh yeah, hey, either version in my garage would make me weak in the knees. The version with the skirts though was much more popular seventy or so years ago. Buuut as they say everything old, becomes new again.
