Hi All,
New proud owner of a 1954 Ford Ranch Wagon with a '55 292 and 4 speed.
I may ask some dumb questions but will mainly spend hours reading some of the great info on here.
We are just coming into summer so there will be plenty of miles clocked up, all hopefully trouble free.
Also, a big thank-you to Ted Eaton for sorting out a time that allowed me to register on this site allowing for time zones.
Regards,
Brian.

Welcome, Brian. No dumb questions here, just some pretty smart answers from some real experts.

If you don't know these guys, they're first class, have some y block products, and there's not even a time change or $ conversion. They've been first class to deal with for me on several occasions.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the welcome.
Yes, well aware of Ace Customs. They have just done some club plaques for my hot rod club. They do nice work.

Welcome!  54 Fords are so cool.  I'll bet you draw a lot of attention in New Zealand? Beautiful country.

Thanks for the welcome Phil. Most comments about the 54 are, Cool ride!  And yes, we do live in a beautiful country that has a great Hot Rod family.

I met my wife when she was 15 years old.   We have been married for 54 years.  Her first car was a 54 Ford Victora.  It had a 239 Y-Block and an automatic transmission.  It was two tone Skyhaze green with a white top. It also had power windows.  Here's an old photo.  I still have the girl.  I wish she still had the car.
