I'm 23, bought my truck at the age of 15....

My name is Greg and I am addicted to Y's.

I'll be 56 in a week or so. family car was a 53 ford wagon with a flatty. then dad bought a 56 customline 4 dr and man did I love the sound of that y with "hollywoods"! I bought a 54 ford ragtop in 69 for $20,and a hurst mystery shifter for another $15.spent a lot of time terrorizing main street with my duel straight pipes! only wished I knew some of you older guys then. it was a learning process with my 4 brothers and I with making those fords run against the scrub lovers.

I'm 50 and bought my first car at age of 16 (Desoto Panel Wagon 1959). First Y-Block studies were in early '70's with my friends '56 Mercury 312 and '57 Ford 292. Still got my first own Y-Block car '57 Country Sedan which I bought 1980.

My birthday was Feb 1956 and for my 50th birthday I bought myself-you guessed it a 1956 Ford Fairlane.The car is still older than me being built in Nov.55.Thats OK though because I have always had a "thing" for older good looking ladies.The last old Ford I had was a 53 Meteor that I bought on April fools day 1975.Sold it in 87 and just got back into this when I got the 56.I spent 10 years on the Ford parts counter when I was younger and never once heard of a Y-block-of course that was a good 15 years after they were last used.Thats my story and I'm stickin' to it.By the way this site is terrific and its the people that make it that way!

  

I will be 67 in August and I bought my first Y-block in 1958, it was a 1956 Customline three speed with a 272, and I dearly enjoyed it.  Foolishly I sold it in 1962 and bought a scrub, mea culpa to all.  Now I have another one, life is good.
