I'm with Simone, and like you I have a big soft spot for fifites cars also, so I love that Savoy.

Mild Kustom would go well with it I think. Not sure how you feel about bodywork but I reckon a dose of de-seaming and frenching would go well, plus some very very subtle pinstriping.

Could you get a 440 in it?
