I agree with dmsfrr. Had a friend with a 54 truck with the 239 that needed rebuilt. I told him to find a 292. More power and much better parts availability.

My Town Sedan was from California and brought back here in the early 70's. When I got it had a smashed driver side fender, broken windshield, and leaking radiator. Could not find a repairable fender around here (Erie County PA.) but I did find a radiator and windshield. Got stationed in NC and...

Slicker than mouse poop so far!

Here is a photo of the Ford kit.

For sure aftermarket. In the 55 accessories book Ford calls it a "Sport Spare Wheel Carrier", P/N B5A-18255-A. Illustration shows a full wheel cover on the tire cover and the ends of the gravel deflector are more tapered. KULTULZ, thank you. I really like it and it would be one of last to leave...

I love the red plastic on the rear antennas too. Kind of art deco. Have a friend with a 55 glass top that's close to being finished. He's going with a rear antenna.

AL, Gary, and Mark, just talked to Chris and he is doing o.k. under the circumstances. Al, I am so sorry to hear about your beloved Mary. Cathy and I have been married 45 years, and we've discussed the sad thing is one of us will have to leave first. Had a friend that passed on their 50th...

Mark, the green paint always seemed to bring more money around here. That one ran good and had fairly new tires (needed fronts). Brought $1,700. Ten years ago, it would've been probably double that. I think those guys are aging out too. One unusual one he has is a O-6 McCormick Deering (Farmall)...

A little bit off topic but my 91-year-old father bought this John Deere 420 W last Saturday at an auction. He has the other two models of 420's and wanted to complete the set. Clearly, he has not got the memo he is not a puppy and should not be buying more things. Cathy seems to think I have...

Got a call the gentleman we bought the 55 from has passed away. In the photo Ed is standing with me when we went to look at the car in Buffalo NY. After we bought the car, he kept sending us items related to the car. There was a AACA newsletter from 1984 with an article on it when it was owned...

Gary, One thing that surprises me is some of the younger people don't seem to have the aversion to 4 doors (Fordor) that our generation did. The least valuable car I have is my 1946 Fordor. My nephew thinks it's cool because it has the "suicide" rear doors. I have a friend in his 70's that...

The one at the Early Ford V8 museum was certainly drool worthy I thought!

Mark, Photo from the last cruise in at Conneaut Ohio this past Thursday. 1949 club coupe and a 50 tudor. The fellow with the 49 is 90 years old and the 50 owner will be 90 in two weeks. Both served in the military right after the Korean war. Gives you some hope that we have a bit of runway left...

Photo of the 42 at the Albion park. Cathy and I went for a 15-mile ride today. Our weather is starting to cool.
