Marquis is a customized 1956 Ford built by Bill Cushenbery in 1963-1965.
Built for Gene Boucher, Cushenbery started with a '56 Ford hardtop.[1] It was sectioned 6 in (150 mm), and had almost every body panel reworked, with the hood given an asymmetrical peak; '59 Buick rear quarter panels were also added.[2]
Candy gold paint was done by Don Mathews and Naugahyde interior by Bill Manger.[3]
Begun in 1963, it took two and a half years to complete.[4]
