Looks interesting, I see convertibles sitting there.

That blue and white one is a Meteor..whatever the name of the sunliner is. I know the meteor version of a Fairlane is Rideau, not sure if the convert was renamed too. I also think I see the rear of a Custom or 300.cant tell if it's a 2 or 4 door though..
Holy Rusted Metal! Batman!

If you get a shot at a 57 Meteor hood ornament at what you consider reasonable I'm good for it.

That's quite a collection of toys.
Jeff and HRD are you watching this? Is that far from you?

i have the round part
So its the piece that looks like a gunsight? any idea if the base is the same as the regular Ford?
just did a Google image search and found there is a much different one for the Meteor Rideau 500. lots of interesting pieces on those cars.
