Hello all,

Before I get flamed, I am not a Ford guy so take it easy!

I bought this in a trade deal and some things don't add up, but I did send for a Marti report which hopefully will answer a few questions.  But it don't hurt to speculate what transpired in the last 50 years.

Here is the bottom line as I know at this time.  I will not have the car in my shop until Thursday at the earliest.  Picking it up Wednesday.

I tried to get a fender off to look at the fender VIN, but I didn't own it yet and wrenching wasn't allowed.  I took a gamble on the window VIN even though it dosen't jive with the car.

Enough of my speech, enjoy some pictures,

Carl

There ya go.  Have some fun with this car.  I have a couple ideas and will see if they make any sense when I get some official information.

One more.  The rear seat looks a bit red.  The engine compartment and interior metal looks red.  So, there is that..  The exterior blue looks like an old spray job, not very good shine..

There's a lot there to hope for, and I think you will be able to find a lot of the main parts. Some things are really scarce or obsolete, others here will provide you with most of those details.
