    Lincoln dealer selling 56 4 dr

    Local Lincoln dealer in north Jersey has a 56 Lincoln 4 dr sitting outside their showroom. Car looks original. Didn't see any body rust, but chrome looks original (paint/interior also). Some chrome really pitted. Color, grey in and out. Some chrome trim damage over one headlamp. Kind of dull...

    50 Years and Counting

    We did it. We hit the magic 50! Bought my 64 Galaxie 50 years ago with 46,819 miles. She now has 219,725 miles. Hot summer for car-shows. Went to 5 shows. Won 4 trophies, "Top 25 or Top 40", stuff like that. After roughly 35 years of showing the car, the trophy case is now officially closed...

    In addition to my LS, and Explorer, this is my other toy, along with the Galaxie. The black/saddle combo was a one year only option. The middle pic is taken in River Edge, NJ, at a historic site where George Washington crossed the Hackensack River, NJ while leaving NY. A few original dwellings...

    (If you don't particularly care for old Fords, don't bother reading this.) In 1969, I needed a car for my wife to drive to work. Her VERY PEPPY 1958 Pontiac Chieftain, 2 dr hardtop, pink/white, gave up. So, I found a used 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 convert, Pagoda Green (turquoise) with two tone...
