t is a fact that the cars of the ’50s feature timeless styling that many of us thoroughly appreciate to this day. Roger Ritzow, of Wisconsin, owns this ’55 Ford Fairlane Victoria as one such example. The Tri-Five (’55-57) era of OEM cars has captured the minds and hearts of hot rodders for a very long time.
A little more on the rolling stock. The Billet Specialties Suave disc wheels are color-matched to the body, measuring 17s in the front and 18s in the back, and feature polished lips and caps. These wheels, while modern in appearance, are meant to recall the original factory appearance coupled with clip-on 10-inch caps. To this, the BFGoodrich rubber comes in at 215/60R17 in the front and 245/55R18 in the back.
There is no getting around that this is a custom-built hot rod with loads of craftsmanship and all the “right” parts. Yet it looks like a “normal” ride that is something any hot rodder could imagine and build with his parts and pieces and thoroughly enjoy.
