re: An all time classic

Amen to that! Although my dad had a ‘57 Ford Fairlane 500, the four-door hardtop without the post, and it would give the Chevy a run for its money in the looks department. Some of the most memorable events of my life took place in that Ford on the back roads of rural Alabama in 1958. Sure would love to have that car now! It was yellow and white. I recall dad and I spending a very cold Saturday in 1958 putting dual glass packs on that car.

Glass Packs bring back memories of my first car, a 55 chevy. What a honey that car was, and a jack rabbit as well.

My best friend in high school's father bought a brand new '57 ford, salmon pink and white, we drove all over norhtern CA in that car, I never could figure out why his dad let him have the car so often, his dad always took their older '54 ford and let Steve have the new one. A real puzzler to me at that time!
