Go for it! I always wanted one of those cars...they just seemed to have a cool factor that few others have or had.
My '59 Ford convertible was given to me by an acquaintance. It had occupied the same spot, behind his father's barn, for the previous 17 years....
Yes, a sunliner is a convertible. I put it together, as a mild custom all those years ago, and it is still with me. We have had the car so long...
I have a '59 Sunliner that I've owned 23 years. Also have a '59 Town Sedan that may or may not get built.
I was riding in a friend's O/T late model car when he hit the brakes, and had none! He got the car stopped safely with the hand brake, so there...
The Hirohata. The legend and history alone make the car an icon without even mentioning that it is a gorgeous creation from every angle.
The S-ROd 4-speed is basically a 3-speed , with the 4th gear being overdrive. They seem to be pretty tough. I abused the snot out of one in an...
351M, 400M, 429, and 460 share the same bellhousing bolt pattern. Does the Edsel Teletouch work by the buttons on the steering wheel ctr....
There was no 2-dr hardtop '62 Fairlane. Those were some of the best built and trouble free cars built in that era, and were gas sippers too. I...
Hey Dodge, you sure nailed it in reference to Tex Smith and his staff. Thanks for bringing that up. Was Rodders Digest originally owned and edited...
Georgia did not issue titles for vehicles until '63, I think. All you should need is a bill of sale and to find the VIN on the chassis to match...
I kinda dug Rod Action back in the 70s and 80s. Granted it wasn't as slick as some of the stuff that's out there today, but in their own way, they...
Also check the front frame rail and shock tower under the battery box. Some of the suspension attaches there, making rustout a real nightmare.
I think you nailed it, although the Anglia w/s was set in a rubber gasket. The Prefect had that type w/s frame and crank mechanism. A '33 or '34...
One of the best looking paint jobs I have seen was done just that way! The car was my pal's '40 Ford delux coupe. Looked like a black mirror.:)
Yeah man, digging on that white welt! There were a bunch of cars in my area done up in just that style in the early 60s. Looked good and was...
My pal worked for Burlington Industries in the drapery department. I was at his shop and spotted some bars about 1 1/2 in. diameter that appeared...
Anthony White (00Mack) in Florida.
The good part is most folks looking at the car won't notice the imperfections in the paint. You will, because you know they are there. Just...
He He...try that, then cruise down a Georgia dirt road. You'll Have red walls for sure!:D
I think you guys nailed it on this one, but for an alternative, check out the 1959 Chrysler Imperial grille.
Your work looks great to me. Those Edsel guys should be very happy that you saved another one from the crusher...maybe it's easier to be...
Does a small house come with it?
You are EXACTLY right!
I'm with you all the way. Meguiars products are hard to beat.
Will the compressor and other pieces that came with that type hang on work with 134a? Kits were sold by everyone from Ford to JC Penny years...
The 352 engine was also available in '58. Rated at 300 hp, they had adjustable rocker arms like used in later HIPO FE engines. As for the Merc...
Ford used a very good top loader three speed OD trans behind the HP 352 in '60 and the 390, 375 & 401 HP FEs in '61. It's hard to remember now,...
Yep, Lady Bird Johnson is spinnin' over in her grave.
WTF? You just won a bunch of friends and influenced a lot of people...:eek:
