    i bought this about a month ago from russellville ohio seen it on ebay its a black 51 ford sedan caddy powered 49 331 block with 365 crank rods pistons 58 heads and 2x4 intake and a b&m hydro trans . the guy i got it from said it was first built in 54-55 and then upgraded in 58 with the 365 stuff. the first owner was said to be the one that put the caddy motor in it he was a navy guy from norfolk va. the car was sold in 60 to a guy that lived in detroit mi. named ronnie lytle and was sold later to kurt mccormick (r&c dream truck) and was sold to the guy i bought it from in 2000. does anyone remember this car from way back ? most of the interior is gone the door panels where tan recovers and the seats where gray and blue. thanks i will post up some pics when i get the car back from the upholstery shop
