1952-59 Ford I need members opinions so let's hear from Ya'

Go for it Jeff

 

how bout just make it all 1950s fords if you want to go that route? shoeboxes have more in common with 52-53 ford and merc then a 57-59 ford. i personally like it how it is.

 

Without a doubt, the hardest thing to find is good, sound advice.
Forums like this are the answer. As the years you are intending to incorporate use the same general mechanicals it seems a no-brainer to ask any of those members who wish, to come on over.
The general sense of camaraderie here makes it easy for people to ask any question and not feel like a fool. We all started somewhere.
Go for it I say.
Regards

 

im for it.

 

Incorporating yet another segment of the automotive population would certainly make this group larger, but I'm not convinced it would be any better...

 

being as I have one, Brilliant!

 

I would have agree with missysdad1.....it would make it bigger but would it make it better? I'm not so sure, but I'm OK with anything you want to do, Jeff!

 

My opinion would be to keep it as is. I personally like having a group focused on the car that I have. That way I have a group of people with specific knowledge of my questions. Not "I did this on my '58...."

That being said, whatever you decide to do, I am ok with. I'm a big boy and can sift through answers and keep what works and pitch what doesn't.

 

The '57-59 Ford folks are already coming on board and getting some fine welcomes from group members thanks for all your inputs,the Aye's have it!

 

maybe some of the new guys have some ideas that would work on the year/models we have, and visa versa. im up for for learning new stuff.

 

Dee-more Dee-merrier.

 

I vote for 1952-59

 

I'm good with up to the year the music died. . .('59) but up to & including '62 is okay with me too, no newer though.

 

The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned.

 

It's official! Ryan has changed our ***le for us.Ron, the "music died in '59" I was lucky to see the Big Bopper,Richie Valens and Buddy Holly and the Crickets at the Prom Ballroom in St. Paul,MN the week before they made the fateful flight, I heard the bad news over the radio in Dad's '56 Chevy driving back in the snow from Wisconsin.

 

Welcome to all the new '57 - '59 members. Now, who's got a good, restorable or customizable (?) '57 - '59 rag or flip top for sale, cheap ?

Yup, I knew it died in '59. I was only 8 but my sis graduated from high school that year, and I vaguely remember her being upset when she heard about the crash.

 

HAVE TWO 53 VICKYS AND ONE 57 300, SO ONE STOP SHOP FOR ME. Sounds good

 

Well, now that our shirts are obsolete, perhaps we should start thinking about another design to include the '57-'59s?

​

 

How about just taking a black marker pen and putting a " - '59 " after the '56 ?
