A helluva town, the Bronx is up and the battery's down, the people all ride in a hole in the ground...:D

I have a '55 Monterey hardtop built in April of that year. It has the tall roof and no stainless above the drip rails. One thing I ran into is...
The best answer I can give is "probably". The glass is the same for both vehicles so that suggests the roof is also the same, in which case the...
The Medalist was a lower trim level than the Montclair and Monterey so it would not have had the stainless above the drip rails.
I heard of it but forgot completely about it. These days walnut shells are used to do the same thing.
After all the effort you put into it? It seems a shame to sell it. JMO
Super No-Nox at $.33 9/10 per gallon. Those were good times.
If I didn't live so far away I'd be on that like white on rice...
Because the ones on the east coast rusted away to dust long ago? Dunno, just a guess.
Victoria rear side windows have umpteen adjustment points. Are they manual or electric? If they're like my '55 Merc the windows and regulators are...
Now, now, Jeff. We mustn't jump to conclusions! :rolleyes:
If it were me I'd repair/replace linkage parts first, then tackle the box if need be. Be careful with adjusting it. They're designed to be tight...
Are you running bias ply tires or radials? Bias tires want to follow longitudinal surface features more than radials, making the car wander. You...
Ford went to 12 volts beginning with the '56 models. Your gauges are also 12 volt, '56 was the only year they did that. They went back to 6 volt...
Glad to help.
It's on the right side, up high. There's usually an access hole under the carpet on the trans tunnel that has a rubber plug in it. If you have...
This may start another p!ssin' contest, so this is my opinion based on experience and study. What you want is straight, non-hypoid mineral oil of...
Rock Auto appears to have what you need. Check this page out:...
It looks maybe a little low to me. If the springs are original there's bound to be a little sag in 'em.

It's not showing up for me...
I believe that is Mamie Eisenhower...

The '56 column is shorter to accommodate the '56 dished steering wheel. You'll need the matching wheel when swapping between years.
Agree, very tastefully done.
The '55/'56 Town Sedan is one of the prettiest 4 doors ever produced IMO.
Only the Victorias had the 3 piece rear glass.
