One of the Ford Bonneville test mules.
This is the colour combo that attracted me as a child to my grandfather's brothers Fairlane.
This car just has a tuff presence.

They also look nice with black wall tires.

Love the factory installed gauge package(or I will continue to believe they were installed from factory.)

I don't care if the dash gauges are factory installed or not. They are clean looking and
cool !!!!!!!
It's a three speed on the column too.
Looks good! Thanks for sharing!
I love the car, I love the colors, funny how when you saw a 1950's any kind of car, you KNEW what brand and model it was, NOT today. They were all very distinctive.
I know this is a historic car, I believe it was also a supercharged, or dual quad engine car? But, I have no idea what the Ford engineers were smoking when they picked the rear bumper out of the pick up truck parts bin.
My brother had a 4 dr. hdtp that had these colors under a paint job of all blue. The interior was left original. I knew the family that was original owners, and introduced him to their daughter. She has been my sister in law for 43 years now.
