Hi,
I am glad I found this forum.
I know its going to be very helpful.
Thanks, Pete
I am including a photo of the Family 1955 Bumble Bee Victoria, and one of my Current Victorias
There is a 55 year difference between the photos.
My older brother is on the left and I am on the right in
both photos
The cars shapes don't change as much as peoples!

Our original 55 Victoria was purchased new. it was raven black on top, golden rod yellow in the middle and black on the bottom. I wrecked it in 1961
It was impossible to find a car in good condition that I could afford when I started to look for a Victoria to enjoy in my retirement.
I found this purple and white on the internet.
Maybe some day it will get painted black and yellow

Hi Pete, welcome aboard. I turned down buying a '55 ragtop 'bumblebee' in '70, the guy wanted $175 for it, I offered $150 and he wouldn't budge. Dammit. About 6 months later I joined the Air Force and bought a '70 Satellite convertible "bumblebee" (bright yellow with black top & interior). The Ford was probably the better car.

re: cooks? Yeah, me too. Except she blames me for the same thing. And I don't cook
