I ended up with a 55 Ford which ran like a bat out of hell.

Did it look anything like these?

Something tells me, no.

In any case, 55 Chevy was the real deal!

No mine was a four door brown and tan. It had a 3 speed manual on the column but with overdrive.

What really made it go was the 4:11 rear end and the 272 V-8. Also the dual exhausts didn’t hurt.

Of course that Jag would have beat it easily except maybe for the first 50 feet.

Now a friend had a 56 with really deluxe interior. Padded everywhere and seat belts. If memory serves he also had a 312 with a four barrel and Ford-o-matic trans.

my 55 would walk off and leave it in a drag. I beat him so bad that everyone began calling it Henry’s slowmobile.

Pretty!

btw, you are always able to pop up all kinds of links, I’m wondering if you happen to know the website that lists/catalogs every car ever made.

I saw it here once, long ago, and didn’t bookmark it.
I wanted to print a picture of every type auto my 92 dad ever owned, just because he loved all his cars.

Thanks!
