Hello

[56 Fairlane]

Hi everybody, I just registered and I guess the proper thing to do is introduce myself. I'm an old fart and have been into cars all my life. I have had a few Fords in my time from 48 up. When I got my drivers license in "68 I had a 60 Fairlane. I now have a 56 Fairlane Town Sedan. On the HAMB my user name is Copper Top, guess I should have used it here too.

Hello CopperTop. There are lots of '55 and '56 Ford owners here. I gave $525 for my '55 in 1972. My first car and still driving it daily.
I browsed the HAMB one time. It seems like folks there are more into modernizing and modifying their jalopies.
Mine is still all original. I am also a member of FORDSIX.com. There are a lot of folks there who mess around with the old 215 and 223 "mileagemakers".

Hello Cooppertop, what a cool moniker. I am very un-original, I still go by the name Mom gave me. Welcome to the group. No, my 55 is not stock, but it keeps me out of the bars at night. The numbers are duct tape, the red numbers gave it two MPH over the silver I used the year before. I started driving legally in 1957.

Well I got my license in 52 and first motor builds were the flatty then the Y block and on up the ladder of progress. Owned about every thing Ford built and a couple of turd GM products that I couldn't afford to drive. Guess that why I still have fords.
