Award-Winning '57 Ford Custom Supercharged 5.4L V8 6-speed Art Morrison Chassis

Award-Winning '57 Ford Custom Supercharged 5.4L V8 6-speed Art Morrison Chassis ///

The Ford Custom nameplate was rooted in simplicity by design, and this 1957 example takes that focused foundation and pushes it into modern street-machine territory. Finished in deep black, the body retains its unmistakable '57 Ford identity while benefiting from thoughtful custom work throughout, including a hand-fabricated grille, frenched lighting, flush-mounted bumpers, and a clean center-exit exhaust integrated into the rear. Subtle body revisions, a lowered stance, and Schott Mod Sport wheels give the car a sharper, more purposeful presence without straying from its original character. Underneath, a full Art Morrison chassis supports a supercharged 5.4L Ford V8 paired with a Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission and a Ford 9" rear with limited slip. A custom stainless exhaust, four-link rear suspension, coilovers, rack-and-pinion steering, and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes deliver modern performance and drivability to match the looks. Inside, the Saddle Tan leather interior blends period-inspired design with modern execution, featuring custom bucket seating, a full-length console, Dakota Digital instrumentation, discreetly hidden controls, and a custom steering wheel that preserves a traditional, era-appropriate appearance. Recognized with multiple NSRA and Goodguys awards and featured in Street Rodder magazine, this '57 Ford Custom stands as a carefully executed, ground-up build that respects its origins while delivering modern performance, refinement, and presence in equal measure.
