1952-59 Ford Fords from the past.

Free speech lives again!

 

Ford must have been doing a wheelie. No damage to it or the vette.

 

So, I'm curious how many of you would actually let a young lady sit on your hood, roof, or trunk nowadays. I say nowadays, because back in the day, they could have danced on my car if they were cute enough, lol.
These are vintage photos, but you still see current photo shoots of the bimbo of the month on cars. I'm always in thw "what were they thinking" mode when I see it.

 

I wouldn't, no matter how cute she was.

 

Taken in 1953

 

Very cool pic Jeff.

 

Natalie Wood?

 

yep, that's her

 

Now that is not a conspicuous patrol..

 

Nope, but before radar detectors came out it was prolly pretty effective...

 

I'd wager somebody died in that Crown Vic...

 

Interesting enough, the driver was thrown from the wreckage and had only a cut on one ankle from the car as it flew over him. He was an acquaintance of my Dad's, and had a successful career as a bodyman following the crash!

 

Thats very impressive, take a good look at the steering wheel.

 

That's about the most twisted up wrecked car I've ever seen. What in the world did he hit?

 

Thanks so much for the pictures, Jeff.
Post 125 WOW
The first time I saw a set of the Crossed Flags on a Ford was in Hawaii in 1957 on a 1957 Ford Custom 300 that had the 300HP supercharged 312 V8. It was fast
So that picture of the 54 with the flags may have had the optional factory approved, dealer installed supercharger.
This thread brings back so many great memories. Thanks
Jim

 

I do believe the supercharger optionwas first available in '57.
