I'll agree on that one too, Kevin. My biggest preference for Ford over Chevy styling was in 57..Chevy's styling is nice, and of course very popular, but I always loved the graceful lines of the 57 Ford, particularly the Fairland 500 hardtop. A school friend let me use his to run an errand in college..it was cool! Thanks for the comment! :) Jack

I agree, Eric...it was pretty bold in the day!They were getting their feet wet with two toning in the early 50's with a contrasting color..finally in the mid 50's it exploded! Even 3 tones! It would be great for it to make a comeback! Thaks for the comment! :) Jack

I also like the colors. I think 2 tone paint jobs will be coming back.

I am reminded of a Bill Cosby routine..."Well,where does the gas go?"---"I don't know!You're the gas station guy,you're supposed to know!"---"How about I just pour gas all over the car?Maybe it'll suck in,somewhere."

very nice car. I never owned a 56, but I always wanted to take one to a full service gas station and watch the young kid try and find the fuel door. Now that would be a funny video to post on u tube.
