That would have been Randy Conner from Hayward WI.  Sadly he has passed.  He and his brother were making them.  Have no idea what has happened to the thousands of 57 car and Bird parts he had.  I did see his collection of "E Code" intakes and carbs, 20 - 30 complete setups.  I have no other info other then his brother owned a machine shop in or around Hayward. 

Just a little more info on Randy.  Found his obituary, the Machine shop was/is Concor Machine and Tool.

Another 600+ mile road trip for my '57 this weekend. Not much going on in Texas in July and Aug., so I'm heading for Norman, Oklahoma for a Saturday car show. Looking forward to it.
I'm thinking about putting a FOR SALE sign in it to see what interest it generates. It may be getting close to that time.

  

Rich I went through the "might be that time" thing and sold all my stuff.  Only had the 36 and my sisters MGB.  After the B gets finished I thought "What the heck am I going to do?".  Can't be without an old car, the 36 has been rode hard and put away wet over the years (43 years) and is need of rebuild....so along came the 56 Crown Victoria......

You sure rack up the miles Rich  My big trip last week was only 75 miles

I'll turn the odometer to 70,000 on this trip.

If you can still drive...then the car should stay in your possession. Simple.

Yeah, that's the tough part. It's strictly a money thing. I can still drive....I did about 8-9k this summer between my Subi and the '57. One thing I realized, I enjoy trips in the Subaru almost as much as the old car. Being retired, and fixed income, I could do a lot more roadtrips if I sold it. This summer has been unusual in that respect because we had some extra$ from selling our second house.

Had a good trip. Nice car show in a nice park with some shade. Only issue I had was on my way there, my GPS speedometer stopped working for a minute or two. Then, on the way back it stopped working for a few minutes again, and oddly enough, in the same area as the day before! That made me wonder if it could have been a satellite coverage issue??? Open road area, btw, on I40 in Oklahoma. We'll see if it happens again in the future.
Anybody else have a GPS speedo that they've had this issue with?

      What's a GPS?
   

National security...some areas are blacked out.  We were near Savannah nuke works and the road disappeared off the screen.

What part of I-40 in Oklahoma?

Morning coffee yesterday had these in the parking lot.
Ranchero is a 390 4-speed.
