Read a short article in June 1956 Ford Times about the seventh annual Speedweeks at Daytona.Driver Chuck Daigh had a record run of nearly 150 mph from a standing start over a measured mile in a 56 T Bird,also two 56 sunliners came in first and second in the National convertable championship race,looks like # 26 1st and #19 2nd. #26 won with a average speed of 96.11.Looks like the y blocks ran great way back then
