Gary Saunders' 1956 Ford
1956 Ford Victoria built by Valley Custom for Gary Saunders of La Cresenta, California. For a wider look, the Ford was modified by making a new grille out of 3/4 inch thick solid tubing. The car was nosed, decked, and fit with 1955 Mercury station wagon taillights. The trunk lid was electrically operated. To get the right stance, the car was lowered 2 1/2 inches in the front, and 3 in the rear.[1]
