Let's see some skirts !

Like Vic says I like skirts too. They really look great on women and our old cars, especially coupes. Wonder why Bob Drake hasn't reproduced some good skirts? They look a lot simpler to make than some of the other parts he has replicated.

Does anyone make new skirts for our cars?
 
Supposedly this company makes them but I have not seen any in person or on a car ??

Jeffs Customs in Arizona.
$250/pair for steel teardrop/bubble type skirts.
He advertises in Hemmings.

I'll have to take some photos of the skirts I got from Don Garlits, they have a few small dents that have to be fixed before they can be painted. If I get a chance I'll take a photo tomorrow and post them. I also have OEM Ford skirts on our '47 Convertible, '39 LZ, '49 Cosmo Convertible and '53 Sunliner, as well as a set of Foxcraft skirts for the '53... Like I said, I love skirts :)

Vic something just jogged my memory. Sometime about 20 years ago I received a call from your lady friend or maybe she approached me at the Ford~Edison show. She wanted to buy you a set of shirts for one of your cars for Christmas or your birthday. Do you still have them and what car re they on.? I rarely sell parts but I'm not a fan of skirts and she was convincing. G.M.

Bud, I got mine from Agape Auto Parts and was very pleased with them. Here's their website: http://www.agapeautoparts.com/about/about.htm
Very nice folks to deal with too. Steve

George, you are absolutely correct, my wife did ask about the skirts, (the ones you gave me for our '47 Convertible) and yes, they are still on the car.:) Vic
 
I have two original pairs of Garwood 33-34 skirts in excellent shape. The mounting levers all work as well. they are great because they come on and off easily, totally change the look of the car.

Hi Vic, That is a nice thing for you to say, thanks.

In this next shot, from this years PA Fall Tour, I had the skirts and greyhound off. I've taken hell for both moves and they're going back on, but I like the looks of the car both ways, with and without the skirts, and greyhound. The greyhound always gets attention from the public, but I also like the cleaner look of the front of the '36 without it.

Jeff, here's a solution to your dilemma...:eek: Put one skirt on and snap half of the tail off of the Greyhound (like Lawson's)...:D LOL. All kidding aside, your (and your dad's) '36 is a beauty either way. I'm looking forward to my next opportunity to go for a ride in it with you.:cool: Vic
