    Sorry Everett, The '56 fairlane was sold, didn't save any pics. It was a club sedan. I was going to put a 393 stroker and c-4 into it, but drag racing got in the way so I sold it.

    Ok - on had to let it go. The 55/56/57/58's are my favorite Ford full size sedans. Anyway, I like ur Maverick. I know how the drag bug can dip deep in ur checkbook - was there - several years ago. Now I just cruise and watch others. Anyway, don't want to get admonished for getting of topic. Have a nice day...
