Used the ford to school today, look at the europene cars. Poor students. He he

Nice Y

Engine is a 312 that I rebuilt last year thank's to help from the board and John Mummert. It's original and still has an original never ground crank. The addition of a new cam, G heads, intake, ignition and carb really woke it up.

Interesting, I was an apprentice machinist at the time too.

In a few months I ran across a 55 merc montclair.

Neat car I thought, but I never quite got over the 56 vicky.

Similar thing happened to me when i was an apprentice machinist with no car and caught the train then walked miles to work. There was a car lot opp the station and there was a blue 36 ford coupe with twin carbs and finned heads. Yes lusting for it was the right term and borrowed the mony from old guy at work and when i got there it was gone!! A terrible feeling and returned the money. But next car was 56 customline that started me off on y blocks! A blessing in disguise.

Yees, got my new tires today : ))

Thats a nice 56 yellowWing, what engine are you running ? I have always like black and white combination on the 55-56 ford. I think all the models in 55-56 US fords are great. I like to have a vick as well with the crown vick.

Jonny, cool to here some history from the US, any more in store ? When i was a kid there was not much ¨Used car lots¨ around here. And if it was, there was these japanese ore euorpen cars. They are just so boring. My crown vic is my old dads car, when i was little i used to play in that car. After 10 years and the car still standing still in the garage he was tired off the car. The car was about to standing still for another 10 years before i got my hands on it. The 55 crown victoria have always been my dream car, and am gonna hold on it to i am stone cold dead : )

In 1959 I was just out of high school. Guy in our town had a used car lot I passed very day

One day he got in a 56 Vicky in black. I lusted after that machine with a passion. I scraped

together every cent I had for a down payment, but was a few dollars short. He said he would

try to hold it for me until I could get the rest, but when I came back with the balance he

told  me a  guy came in with cash, and he had to let it go.

Well I knew he was running a business, and he had  to sell those things, but I still never forgave him.
