I got my driver’s license in Pennsylvania when I turned 16 in March of 1963. However, I probably had at leasst 10,000 road miles before then, many of them in older friend’s cars including several 1956 Fords, all with 272 or 292 c.i. V-8’s with three speed column-shifted manual gearboxes. If it had decent tires and good brakes, the ‘56 Ford wasn’t a bad handling ride and had enough power to get out of its own way. I remember cruising them at 80 to 100 mph on some of the straighter back roads around home. When I was on active duty stationed in San Diego in the late ‘60’s, my uncle up near Whittier had a ‘56 four door with a 292 and three on the tree as his work car. He let me cruise it around at night and it was a blast to drive with its dual exhaust and torquey little motor that would pull in third gear strong from about 35 mph up to 100 or so. Of course that old auto tech didn’t faze me much since my field car on the farm when I reached 12 years old was the old man’s 1955 Chrysler 300 and those Fords were nimble compared with the old Mopar.
You’re talking close to 2 tons of solid American steel, 215 HP Y8 interceptor engine, cop tires, cop shocks...gumball machine on top and the famous “Motorola Roadblock” under the dash...
Or you could ride thru today’s urban war zone in a Prius like some cops have to do.
I feel the need ...
” It’s got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it’s got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It’s a model made before catalytic converters so it’ll run good on regular gas.”
My favorite is the 57 Fairlane 500.Damn good looking car. I guess I watched the blockbuster Thunder Road with its star studded cast one too many times.
