"New Mexico" car?

[Rich Largent]

We are looking to buy a 56 Victoria. Saw one today online that indicated by its Data Plate it was manufactured in Dearborn. The write up for the car says it is a great New Mexico car. The car is in Virginia. What really simple thing am I not understanding?

" Online " can mean a lot of things .....

" New Mexico " can range from relatively dry and Salt Free Tucumcari
where I just stopped for the day to Northern New Mexico where it snows
a lot and salt is spread on the roads .....

Make a phone call to the Seller if you are seriously considering purchase

My '56 Ford parts car was built in California, still had a '64 Cali tag on the front when I got it in '72; had been wrecked/totaled in northern Michigan. A lot can happen to cars, where they go, etc. in 56 years. Would be nice to see the "history" of some of these old cars.

Most likely driven out there sometime in it's life.

My brother in law has a scout that is missing all of it's lower 10 " He drove from Cloudcroft to Almogordo to work. They salt the roads in the high country. Beware!
