My first 56 was a turquiose & white with the same color tuck and roll interior. Of course I very soon swapped in a FE nd converted it to stick shift.
Imagine that!!!!Lol My first car was a 1955 turquoise and white Ford. I swapped in a MEL 430 that I completely rebuilt first. Old Wolf... now I KNOW we’re cousins!! Bones
We had a couple 55-56 Fords at the Oklahoma Hot Rod Hundred last month as well. There was another 56 wagon, but I can’t find a pic of it anywhere.
yes we likely are some sort of Kinfolks? I ran a Mel 430 in my 56 ford pickup for a few years. still have the engine and the truck.

Here are the "FAT" exhaust manifolds that have become fashionable lately for hot Rods with Y blocks. Here they are in stock location on a 56 ford panel truck
