That looks cool. The bullet taillights really help the rear styling. I never would have thought that a Nomad roof would "work" on the Ford but it does, it really does! It might have been funny if it had a Mopar engine then it could be named The Big Three. I hadn't seen the build thread until just now. You really made a jewel out of a poor beginning...and the auto-translation of the captions was entertaining as well.

So I thought, "what a beautiful Ford wagon", then it hit me! Holy cow this has had a Chevy Nomad roof transplant. Beautiful job on the swap.

Very cool, yes, very cool! I spotted the Nomad roof right off; but it works well! Perfect color choice too!

Nice, kind of has a Crown Victoria flair to it, like the B-pillars without the chrome wrap. Probably wouldn’t have thought of topping off a Victoria with a Nomad roof either. The rest of the car is stunning as well.

Good proportions! Do like the 46-48 badge on tailgate.

Beautiful! My brain tells me "look, a Nomad" based on those iconic roof ribs, but then I have to force myself to "see" the Ford features and realize it's mostly Ford, despite the roof. It worked out incredibly well, excellent work  |

Beauty. Nice job grafting the roof on to the '56 body. I also like what you did with the grill bar. The stance,wheels and color all work well with the conversion. If it had the Crown Vic's tiara you could call it a "Crown Ranch".

David, don't replace the grille, it's what makes your '56 look so elegant !

I really like this! The Nomad roof looks like a natural fit. I did something similar with a '58 Edsel and the Del Rio roof. This model makes me want to do a '56 also! Nice work! Add another vote for keeping the grille bar. What's it from?
