Good morning Sirs,

Just a short note to introduce myself, my name is Ron and I am from Edmonton, Alberta. I will be turning 57 this summer (born in 57) and have just purchased the car I have always wanted, a 57 Fairlane Club Victoria HT (C7DV200679 - 63AGEJ10F32). The car rolled off the Dallas line on June 10th and I hit the floor on June 27th so we almost have matching numbers 

I have had a chance to read through many of you all's posts and am amazed by how much experience and expertise you all have. What a great resource. I have no plans of ever selling this car, it will be my weekend driver (for all of the three or four months of goldang summer we get up here), but I do have plans to make it better, faster, and a little more powerful without going overboard too much. I know that when anything reaches 57 you kind of gotta not push 'em too hard. I don't need it to be as good as it once was, just be as good once as it ever was...

You may have seen this car around before; I bought it in Indianapolis from a fella who got it out of Florida in 2011. I look forward to doing the right thing by this car and this forum.

Best regards - RonA

Note: The last picture, I pasted an old plate I have onto the pic.

Great looking car. I really like the color. That's really cool...having a '57 built 57 years ago when you're 57! I have a friend here in Texas who was into '57's all his life...wanted to own 57 1957 Fords on his '57th birthday(25 or so years ago)...had to buy 3 more that year to make it happen.
