1960 Ford owned and restyled by Geno Jankowski of Dearborn, Michigan. Known as the "Black Jack", Geno, who operates a trim shop, customized the car at a cost of only $125. He built and upholstered the front swivel seats and put a flat deck over the rear seat. Knobs on the grille were kitchen cabinet pulls, and the engine was stock. In 1960, the Black Jack was shown at the first annual National Champion Custom Car Show in Detroit.[1]
