The curve in the gold paint stripe is unmistakable on the front fender, and the gleam of the lake pipes can be seem along the rocker panel. http://www.kustomrama.com/index.php?title=Dick_Jackson%27s_1957_Ford The car to the far right with the door open is Bob Metz' custom 1950 Buick Sedanette. http://www.kustomrama.com/index.php?title=Bob_Metz'_1950_Buick -- Last edit: 2009-09-05 06:48:15
