1952-59 Ford Fords from the past.

That's cool. I guess I never realized Burger King had been around that long.

 

That was the first store it actually started as Insta King here is some trivia on that: https://www.thebalance.com/history-of-burger-king-1350968 and another picture.

 

Dang! That's Aunt Bea!

 

Well, I think this is a 50 shoebox, thus out of the 52-29 period... but it was taken at my little corner of the world so it is special. Scavanged from our local archive.

 

Fords at the Dairy Queen around that time Dad would buy me a 5 cent Dilly Bar.

 

These were 1954 Ford Police Interceptors with the 256 Y-block used on the Autobahn between Mannheim and Stuttgart.

 

Fords at the Drive In with a car hop.

 

Yup, and back when DQ used CREAM before diluting their ice 'cream'. I remember dad splurging - getting us 25 cent cones, they were huge.

 

Sanderson Ford dealership in Phoenix,AZ 1950's Still doing business and puts on several car shows a year.

'53 or '54? And notice those crossed checkered flags on the fender - aftermarket or does anyone know if they were a factory option? It sure is one nice Crestline.

 

The side trim says '54.

 

54 definitely. The flags look like 55 T Bird emblems and I think that rear antenna wasn't availabe until 55 or 56.

 

dobie is right 54 as to the antenna it was an option in 54.a lot of people ask if it lights up

 

No the antenna doesn't light up, I have one on my '56 and that is just transparent red plastic. ****uming then, that the crossed flags were post-production add ons? I like 'em.

 

Or the crossed flags were a J.C. Whitney or Almquist add on ?
