Don Boeke's 1957 Ford Convertible
1957 Ford owned and restyled by Don Boeke of Dayton, Ohio. The Ford was Don's first custom after he was discharged from the US Navy. Modifications included a Canadian grille, custom taillights, pearl scallops, with blend, lake pipes, custom hubcaps, four-pipe exhaust headers. "All work done by myself in a one-car garage I rented up the street for $15 a month," Don told Sondre Kvipt of Kustomrama in 2019.[1] He eventually sold the Ford and bought a 1961 Corvette, that he immediately customized with paint and wheels.[2]
