    Ford = Edsel?

    Hello! Just trying here for possible information. We have a 59 Edsel Corsair Convertible in very nice condition. We are looking for reverse lights (clear lenses). The previous owner (I'm guessing) couldn't find any, so he put red lenses in and disconnected the back-up lights. We are trying...

    56 Mercury Valve Covers

    Hello! We are restoring a 56 Montclair. The correct paint under the hood for this engine is Blue air cleaner and silver valve covers with blue lettering. Do we have to use high temp engine paint on the valve covers? We have an abundant supply of the Argeant Silver paint to use for various...

    Production Numbers

    We have a 1958 Ford Courier Sedan that we have just restored. We bought it at auction but it needed a lot of work. Attached are a couple of photos. I have been unable to find any production numbers on this vehicle. Any ideas? Thanks, John

    Wow! Is this possible???

    We have matching frame and data plate VINs. What is a buck tag, is that the build sheet?

    Hello from NC!

    We have a new development! One of our mechanics realized that the C1TE-C rods DID NOT come out of the Sunliner, they came out of our 57 Skyliner with a 292. We went back to the parts shelves and he located the rods that he actually pulled out of the Sunliner. Lo and behold, they are...

    Hello from NC!

    OK, guys, here we go. Yes, the photos are from the engine in the car. This is not a 292. We have a 57 Skyliner with a 292 Thunderbird Special, and we are familiar with those valve covers. "This chart shows the block casting number of a 1960 Hi-po 352 would be EDC-B or EDC-C" I have...

    Hello from NC!

    Wow! Thanks for the responses. Here are some photos and other information that I have collected. I remembered incorrectly. The rods are for a 292, not a 312.

    Hello from NC!

    I just joined your MB last week. I was trying to find out some info, and I stumbled upon a thread in which you guys were discussing how Fords could not be numbers matching, only well-documented. I am a GTO guy, so this was news to me. Here's my story: I manage a classic car collection for a...
