Yes you could quite easily get another inch or two - you've got at least two years of growing left - and possibly more

Your dad is pretty tall actually. 5 ft 10 is good. anyway. Yes you have a chance. I even asked myself that same question when I was 19 lol. I was 5 ft 8 and a half. But I miraculously changed my whole diet and started to work out a lot. It was also due to a 3 month training camp I attended that changed my diet for the good and help me lose weight.
So your answer is yes, you can still grow, because, right now I am 21, and my height is close to 5 ft 11 (damn) but my dad is only 5 ft 7 and my mom.....5 ft 3 or 4. Haha. So yes you can still grow.
P.S. By the way, guys can still grow till age 24 or some even keep growing till 30 (rare) but in small spurts. You have chance since you are 16. Eat well, sleep well, less stress, have fun, be confident. You shall grow!!
Cheers
