1957 Ford Custom 300 owned by Joe Siclari of Union, New Jersey. Joe's Ford is known as the Pearl Necklace, and most of the restyling on the car was done at Moonlite Kustoms. At Moonlite, the car was nosed, decked and shaved for handles before the entire front end was molded together. Ford F100 headlight rings were installed up front, while the rear end was modified to accept a pair of 1958 Edsel Wagon taillights. Once the bodywork was done, the car received a Kandy Teal basecoat with doublemint Pearl White scallops. The Pearl Necklace made it's debut at the 2010 Detroit Autorama, were it also won the Alexander Brothers Award.
