  4. That 130 m.p.h. speedo is pretty subtle, Jeff.

    Found it..... look closely.. they produced the art for the public.. Not sure why they only went to 120.. but they did make 130 for a very short period.. maybe late 56... Who knows why they decided to change.

  14. An update on my 57. I had the Fordomatic rebuilt, Installed 2 inch lowering blocks in the rear, cut 2 coils out of the front, put bigger tires (235/75/15) on the rear. I also por 15-ed the floor pans, and painted all the interior gloss black. Forgot to mention I put a 300 rear bumper on it. It's down to only a few small things and it will be a driver.

    The 57s seem to look better in sedan form with the pillar over the hard top..
