The world has fallen off its axis and begun rotating in reverse. A Ford that is not a Mustang is on the cover ofthe most chevy heavy magazines in the world...very cool.

That thing is a beauty! I like that they did not radius the rear quarters.

I think that is from Galpin Ford out here in my neck of the woods. They had a big show of early Fords a few weeks ago at the dealership. Ron Hornaday Sr. who was the service manager at Galpin back in the mid 60's took the local 1/3 mile oval track championship in a 57..

price of 57 fords and parts will get ridiculous now as new blood will enter the market.

there is/was a build thread on the HAMB about that car.
That is a nice one.

I was really surprized to see the '57 Ford on the cover of the new Hot Rod when I got home tonight. Plus eight pages inside. What a treat!

Then I opened I turned the page to other eight page article on Torino Talladegas!!!! Another forgotten Ford Muscle car.

I just brought my Maroon '69 Talladega from storage in my old shop to my new home shop last weeked. It was nice to have it out and look at how cool it really is.

It is awesome when Hot Rod makes me excited again.

Well let's see is there anything positive I can say.... humm I like the wheels. Speaking of which, anyone know where to find a set like that (chrome reverse) with only 5 holes and not the universal fit anything type you see everywhere?
