IT WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 1957 BY A GERMAN IMMIGRANT WHO WORKED IN A MACHINE SHOP IN WISCONSIN. HE NEVER OWNED A CAR BUT WAS FASCINATED BY THE MECHANICS OF THE WORLD'S FIRST HARDTOP COVERTABLE. THE DAY HE RETIRED HE WENT DOWN TO THE FORD DEALER AND PAID CASH FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR HAD CLEAR VINYL SEAT COVERS INSTALLED AND DROVE IT TO FLORIDA WHERE IT HAS REMAINED FOR THE LAST 56 YEARS! I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 1979 AND THE ONLY REASON I HAD IT PAINTED WAS THE OLD MAN HAD WAXED IT SO MUCH THE PRIMER WAS SHOWING THROUGH. I HAD IT PAINTED THE ORIGINAL TWO/TONE DRESEN BLUE & COLONIAL WHITE I ALSO HAD THE REAR BUMPER RECROMED. THE CLEAR SEAT COVERS WERE SO YELLOWED I HAD THEM REMOVED AND SHOWED THE CAR DURING THE 1980'S AND WON SEVERAL CAR SHOWS. THIS CAR HAS NO RUST AND HAS NEVER SEEN SNOW! call 941 746 8361
IN 1992 AFTER MY WIFE'S UNTIMELY DEATH THE CAR WAS PUT IN DRY STORAGE UP ON BLOCKS WHERE IT REMAINED FOR 18 YEARS. IN 2012 IT WAS REMOVED FROM STORAGE AND THE BRAKES WERE DONE WITH NEW HOSES AND REBUILT WHEEL CYLINDERS A BRAND NEW HOLLY 4 BARREL CARBURATOR WAS INSTALLED ALONG WITH A NEW RADIATOR. THE DUAL EXHAUSTS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW MUFFLERS AND ALUMINIZED CUSTOM PIPES. THE FRONT SEAT BOTTOM HAD SOME RIPS AND THE FOAM WAS STARTING TO DISINDEGRATE WITH AGE. I COULD NOT FIND ORIGINAL MATERIAL SO THE BOTTOM FRONT SEAT WAS REBUILT AND COVERED WITH BLUE VINYL FOR COMFORT AND SAFETY.
INCLUDED WITH THE CAR IS A BRAND NEW PAIR OF FOXCRAFT CRUSIER SKIRTS THAT I HAD PAINTED WITH THE CAR IN 1979 BUT THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN INSTALLED! THE SPARE TIRE IS A DUAL STRIPE WHITEWALL THAT HAS NEVER BEEN USED! A 2 OWNER CLASSIC THAT HAS FULL DOCUMENTATION! ALL NUMBERS MATCH. ALSO HAVE ORIGINAL 1957 COMMERCIALS WITH LUCILLE BALL & TENNESSEE ERNIE FORD.
