1957 Dreaming of warm cruising weather and hot rods.

[48flyer]

I spend my winters with my Rugers, but my summers are spent in my Ford.
It's only been a couple months, but I miss cruising with my wife by my side.

LETS SEE YOUR RIDE!!!

Nice hot rod. I love those old Fords. Tell us a little about the FE under the hood.





Here's a link to a previous thread;

Lookin' really good!

1956 2 door hardtop businessman's coupe. As bare bones as you could get.

Reminds me of the 58 I had back in the 70s except mine had the stock V8. Took it in to have an alingment and the guy said that the last time he had alinged a car that old was the last time I brought mine in. It actually handled quite well for a car of that era.

Wow! Your '57, that Cobra, and that '56 all look amazing!

Our two 1991 5.0 Mustangs get antique license plates in a week since they'll be 25 years old. Our daughter's first car had to be a Mustang. After casually looking for a few months, I lucked onto a Performance Red 2000 V6 on Ebay that was a half hour from our house. The car was in amazingly excellent condition for being 15 years old (now 16). We bought it for our daughter and gave it to her on her 18th birthday as a birthday/graduation present. She loves it!

I only WISH I had this back to go 'cruising' in.

Frank, I had an old shoebox Ford too. Lot of good times in that car. I still think about a retirement project involving a 50 Ford.

Here are 3 cars that I wish that I still had.
The first is Ford's first year that they made the hardtop. It's a 51 Ford that I put a set of 66 Mustang bucket seats in.

The second car, I bought new, is a 1964 Ford Galaxy XL convertible that came from the factory with bucket seats, standard on the XL. It also came with a 4 speed transmission, with the shift in the floor. The picture was taking in 1968 at Myrtle Beach SC. The next day we went to Darlington to watch the Southern 500. The two girls are my daughters which are now in their early 50s. Where did the time go?

The next two pictures are of a 1969 Mach I that I traded the 1964 in on. Sure wish I had all three cars back

Those are all some fine looking cars!

Great looking cars guys. Thanks for sharing.
I also had a 50 Ford and a 66 Galaxie 7 Litre. I wish I had that Galaxie back!
That 51 is a great looking car, and that 4 speed Galaxie, was that a 390 car?

Robb, did chevy's business coupe have a back seat in it?
The ford did not, along with only having one sun visor on the drivers side!

My 427 is out of a 66, and has a 428 crank, bored out to 450 cubic inches for around 450 HP
We got snow here finally, so I'm not tempted to take it for a spin anymore, until springtime, which can't get here fast enough

Street, all of yours were fine, but, ohhhhh, that '69!

Yea! The 64 XL had a 390 in it.

This one did but that about all it had. No ps, on, radio, clock nor even carpet. Just black matting on the floor. 235 straight six with 2 speed power glide tranny. Drives like a land yacht!

My previous car:



2006 GT. It had a couple of modifications, nothing drastic just a cold air intake and a chip tuner.

Current car is a 2004 GT:



This one is purely stock...so far!

Wendy, your Mustangs are gorgeous! But the year on your red one threw me for a loop. Then I figured out it must be a 2014...right?

 

[WendyZXZ]

Thanks Steve! Definitely a typo there, it is a 2014. I keep telling Kenneth I want a supercharger and his question is always "what for?" considering the 2014 has 420 HP and 400 pounds of torque.
