History of the Ford Jack Calori
Jack Calori, World War II veteran, bought a 1936 Ford three windows coupe in 1947 and with his friend Herb Reneau, they decide to customize it. Great idea, the result is incredible. They installed a drop front axle and lowered the car. Then, they installed a 1939 LaSalle front grille with 1941 Chevrolet headlights, fender skirts, 1941 Hudson tail lights and Ford bumpers. To the final touch, the painted in black. The car appeared on the frond cover of the 1949 Hot Rod magazine.
Beautiful Hot Rod, old and classic American cars with large engines updated.
