1955 Ford Fairlane Club Sedan - need the "L" shaped stud (upside down L anyway) that allows the vent window to pivot. These things are known to rot out. Every last vent window assembly in my stash - all were rotted away to just about nothing. Passenger side or Driver side, either will fit. See...

I had a site member email me the other day... ottersea@yahoo.com; 56sedandelivery Maybe an administrator or moderator could help? He cannot log on and receives this message: 56sedandelivery, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: Your...

Greetings. I mostly post on the other part of the forum for 50's cars. Our church is looking to see if anyone has a Model A truck (farm truck preferred) for a one day indoor display at a married couples conference on Saturday, April 27th. We are in Lancaster, California. You can send me a PM...

I have been told that when upgrading a 55/56 Ford Sedan from the standard 3 speed manual (T86, et al) that one needs to find a cross member that will mount said T85 into the frame. I know that 55 Mercs had a T85 has an option, as did 56's. Are the cross members the same? Of course, 56 Ford...

If you live close enough to the track, or if you would just like to make the trip to see a lot of nostalgic cars running at WOT down the 1/4 mile then do join us. Hotels are filling up fast.

Anyone going to the swap meet in Carlisle, Pennsylvania April 20-24? I will be there on the 22nd and 23rd... large fairgrounds and usually a good swap meet if you can make it.

This weekend at the Dragway 42 in West Salem, Ohio, there is an event entitled "Fast Fords" that will begin on Friday evening with Test and Tune, then racing on Saturday and Sunday. There is a small swap meet and a car show taking place as well at the facility (the track property is quite...

Looking for a Hurst syncrolock shifter bracket and hardware mounting kit for a T85 3 speed with the R 11 overdrive. I already have a good shifter, just need the correct bracket and arms. Either shoot me a pm or email me at danaxjessup@yahoo.com. Also, you can visit my site at www.hotrodreverend.com

Fellas, Has anyone taken a reproduction 55-57 Thunderbird steering wheel and used it on a 55/56 Ford passenger car steering column? If so, did you need to make any modifications? No one to my knowledge reproduces a 56 Ford steering wheel and of course the bakelite dries out and cracks over the...

Many of you have been following the Hot Rod Reverend chronicles and know that I replaced my Fordomatic with a 3 speed/OD setup. I have been very happy with the results. With the Holley I installed last year and some of the tuning I have gone through with the Y block this car has really "woken...

Some of you may have already seen this video of these nice OEM 1955/56 Ford rocker panel stainless trim pieces I acquired sometime ago. I have some good news on that front - Burton's Antiques in Dayton, Ohio (who is the only company I know of that is reproducing those trim pieces) just sold me...

I am working on rocker panel trim and have new clips to install on a 1955 Fairlane. The car has never had the trim installed as this was of course an optional accessory back then. Two holes need to be drilled into the body to secure each clip to the sheet metal, but I do not have a template, do...

Anyone do this lately? :D Anyhow, I got some 56 parts in a large box today and the dash wings do not match the pillar pieces. My take is of course there would have to be at least two versions of the pillars - one for hardtops and one for sedans. But, check out the healthy list of part numbers...

Check this out: https://www.hotrodreverend.com/post/10-liter-ultrasonic-cleaner-for-small-parts it did very, very good on the oil parts. Check out the crankcase breather tube in the final video. Wow.

For those of us who drive our cars quite a bit and deal with defrost issues on the rear window of a 55/56 Ford Sedan what options are there? I know that Ford made a rear window defrost unit as an option - can I assume that there were 6 volt and 12 volt models? I would think that originals are...

Anyone know the difference between factory wheels (15") for the 55/56 Thunderbird as opposed to the 55/56 Ford Sedans?

Anyone going to Fall Carlisle Swap Meet? I haven't been since the early 90's and was wondering how the supply of vendors/parts is for the fairgrounds. If you've been recently to the Fall swap, how are the Y block or mid 50 FoMoCo availability?

Fellas, Things are going well on the 55, been a busy summer and have not posted here much but if you get on the website at hotrodreverend.com you can read, see, and hear about my bout with ethanol fuel - what a difference pure gas makes on all fronts. I am going to Fall Carlisle and will be on...
