kingrudy Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I'm thinking that without the back porch that this car would be the bees knees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Knees or pajamas I like the color but the continental kit belongs on a Continental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What century were you guys born in? Those expressions went out in the 1920's. In the 50's, we said "cool, bad, bitchin', and boss" (among other things). 😄😄. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I like it, as a matter of fact I'm going to take your advice. "Gee that '55 Ford sure would be SWELL without that back porch masquerading as a rear bumper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I have ALWAYS wanted one of these but they have always been too expensive like this one.. The connie kit, skirts and fuzzy dice are easily removed. Don't like all the rocker trim but it could stay... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have wondered if the standard bumper could be mounted in it's place. Also do they make the bumper for this car aftermarket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many kits just move/extend the bumper out - unbolt bumper, remove the "porch", and bolt the original bumper back on... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I see, but now you are left with the bracket that stabilizes the spare tire, well looks better that the kit IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACK M Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I didn't think it to be the same car because of the antenna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deac Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Less is more... Lose the continental kit. The first of the last 3 posted pictures justified how ugly the kit really is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
