My Grandfather's 1953 Ford Convertible
He has owned this car since the 50's. It sat in our backyard under a cover for over 30 years. It was in pretty rough shape and took 7 years to fully restore by doing it the right way, with patience, careful planning, and all original parts.
The engine is a V-8 Flathead, and 1953 was the last year that Ford made the flathead engine. Here are some pics of the finished product. I will post more pics of the whole process when I get the chance. Enjoy.
