Grease Lightning 1946 Ford custom convertible from GreaseThe movie musical is one of my all-time favourite feel-good films (along with the likes of Dirty Dancing and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert), and I could watch the 50's based romantic comedy over and over (and probably have over the years) and enjoy it every time.

Grease movie posterThis 1946 Ford Convertible was customised by George Barris for the 1978 musical, which is the highest grossing movie musical of all time. The renowned Hollywood customiser transformed a stock two-door sedan into this awesome convertible with a wild paint job, enormous fins and clear plastic hood. It's pretty amazing and I'm so glad I got to see this piece of cinematic history in person.
