Just wondering if there are any 57 Ford racers from NHRA Division 6? I know of a few, Steve Phyborns blue Custom 300 from Idaho, Ed Gallwas white Fairlane 500, and Brian Thompsons black Custom 300 from Washington state, there was also a yellow and purple Custom 300 from the Seattle area, don`t know who owns it. Mike Moore from here in BC Canada has a blue Custom with a full tube chassis, also Cec Hardy from BC has owned the ex Larry Walker "Legal Cheater" blown 312 Custom since he bought it in the early 70s.And while not a 57, I remember a very nice yellow and white 56 Ford 2 door sedan at Bremerton Raceways All Ford drags in the early 80s, with a Boss 302 and Nash 5 speed. Any others?
1959 Meteor 2 door sedan , 428 Cobra Jet 4 speed. Been drag racing Fords (mostly FEs) 47 years and counting.
Previous 50s Fords include 57 Custom 4 door, 2 57 Ford Sedan Deliveries, 59  Country Sedan, and as a 9 year old, fell in love with the family 58 2 door Ranch Wagon.
