Johnny's Customs

Tom Griffin's 1950 Ford of Portland, Oregon. Griffin owned the car in 2024. The full history of the sectioned Ford is not known, and it is rumored to be an old custom originally restyled in the early 1950s. In the mid-1980s to mid-1990s, Johnny's Customs in Salinas, California, further enhanced the vehicle by installing a rolled rear pan, incorporating a Camaro sub-frame, and upgrading the engine to a small block Chevy 350ci V-8 paired with a 350 three-speed automatic transmission. These modifications not only improved the car's performance but also its aesthetic appeal and road presence.
