The first thing you notice about this 1953 Ford Victoria is the beautiful paint–pearlescent robin’s-egg blue. Then you begin to see all other modifications that make a car look so clean.

The grille shell is from a ‘58 Thunderbird, modified with chrome tubing at the center. The hood has been nosed.

Original chrome fixturs have been removed (the doors now operate electrically), but the teardrop spots add some sparkle. They’ve been given a two-tone blue paint treatment. Additional glitter is provided by the chrome reverse wheels.

The trunk has been decked, and the custom taillight lenses have been tunneled.

Inside, the upholstery is blue and white vinyl, rolled and pleated.
