That probably would have been 'cool' about 50 years ago

Old Skool for sure. Looks like late 60's- early 70's style hot rod. Not my style but looks well done.

That front end treatment was very common in the late 50's and early 60's. It was a Lincoln design concept but headlights from 59/60 Chevy's and others were used also.

Awesome. Only the dash and steering wheel look out of place.

I think it's groovy! Any old Vanner's in the crowd should like it.

Looks 70's Van-ish. Does look well done but FUGLY to me. I think it needs a Lava Lamp! At least it has a Ford engine.

That was my thoughts, too. Well done 50's style kustom. The dash treatment is too new to be 'old school.'

I reckon that is a sweet looking old skool custom, I don't like the dash, but overall that is just the sort of custom work I fell in love with as a kid and still enjoy. Love the louvred bonnet and tailgate, upholstered bed cover and running boards and lakes pipes.

Very much 60's style custom, expect it to be featured on the pages of the "little" magazines of the day photoed with a girl in tight capri pants, even tighter sweater with rocket nosecones, big hair. Upholstered running boards were one of the judging sheet checkoffs you needed if you wanted to take home a trophy along with the bullet or cabinet pull grill fillers, lakes pipes and flipper hubcaps. Steering wheel, tilt column and dash are the major misses.

A dummy princess rotary dial phone, 45 RPM record player or B&W TV (all dummy of course) in interior would have been period accurate along with 60 Olds steering wheel.
