They are both very nice, but it sounds like you are ready for a change. My vote goes for the Chevy. If it looks as good in person as in the pictures, that is a very sweet ride.

The Chevy was taken down to bare metal and all the rust fixed. New interior and paint. But women sure like the green. Went to the restroom, came back and discovered this........
Told her she could get inside
I don't think I'll trade too far away and I like my car enough........

I went to a show at Hooters one time and two Hooters Chicks climbed up on the back of my 27 and leaned against the rollbar for pictures. My Son said "Aren't you going to get them off of there?" NOPE !!!

Well, the guy really wanted the '51, so he trailered the '52 down from Clearlake which is north of San Francisco. We did the trade and we're both happy. I'm in the process of adding A/C and he took the Gasser to Billet Proof. 3 hours one-way from his house. He said the car ran great...................

I like the custom. Never been into gassers too much. Or course I`m with Sam, the custom could use a couple inchs out of the top.

My old '49 Ford was chopped. No ventilation. When the weather is moderate, you still cook. The '52 is nice even if the weather turns warm.

It's just a little surface rust!

Ha, ha, I told my wife that's the price you have to pay to look cool. After a couple of years and not getting any younger, I realized I"m married, I don't have to look cool...........How true!

Tough to look cool if you're hot and miserable.
Now you can look cool and actually BE cool.
Mission accomplished. Enjoy your new cool rod.
