1954 Ford

We've seen 11 Alameda vehicles from the 1950s in this series, but not a single one of them was a Ford product. Well, that changes today! I spotted this heavily customized Ford when I was lured down an East End side street by a quick glimpse of a late-60s Dart, spotting this '54 in all its lowered orangitude just across from the Mopar (don't worry, Dart fans, you'll see that '69 pretty soon). There's no telling which model this car is, what with the utter absence of any sort of trim, but I'm hoping it's a Mainline. Damn, that's a great car name- bring back the Mainline, Ford! More »

Cuidado La Bomba! Extreme Late '40s Lowrider

Don't be put off by the police tape around this late '40s-era Ford bomba-lowrider mashup — it probably won't bite. But don't get too close; you might have to face down a guard unicorn who's got a switchblade for a horn. [Thanks to Dave for the tip.] [Gallery]– Mike Spinelli More »
