I do remember the first grade in nineteen fifty nine. Our principal had a car like the one you pictured. The sixty three stingray brings back memories. A young neighbor had one. He was way cool and he let us kids swim in his back yard pool.

My first grade was in 1954. A friends dad had a black 55 Ford Crown Victoria with the glass roof. I think it was called a Skyliner but not sure. Any way, I recently learned this old grade school friend still has the 55 and it has gone thru a frame off restoration. Haven't seen it, or him since 1959, but I'm sure the car is way nice.
Enjoy your day!

Crown Vicks were awesome cars. I had an old bachelor uncle who had one Turquois and white with matching interior. He always chewed a cigar never lighting it. I always remember him in a Fedora Stetson with the windows rolled down on that hard top with that cigar stub in the corner of his mouth.. Good memories.

:-D :-D :thumbup:

My first car was a 67 Mustang Fastback, midnight blue with white interior..My Dad told me No, for months then finally gave in and bought it for me...Told me one ticket in it and the car gets sold, not parked...

He wanted me to have a 79 VW bug, even convertible, if I would take it..Sureeee, over the Mustang?? Mustang may have been a lot older but wowwwwwwwww what a car!!

I never did a ticket, but I sure ran her up and down the stip of Ft. Lauderdale Beach~~ :lol: Another place I wasn't allowed to go to....Dang brothers would see me and take me home and they would leave and so would I..........~~

Fun memories.. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Brothers are protective of their sisters.. I loved D**gging main as we called it. up in Eugene they call it cruising the gut. My first car was a fifty six chevy belaire I bought for $110 . I traded it for a 37 Ford sedan that I got radical with considering my low funds and limited mechanical knowledge. I can tell you that It would pop a wheelie and take off like a gun. The darn thing was very fast. Girls didn't like it much because they got grease on their clothes but all the guys thrilled on it. I would race it some times and I actually did shut down a new Roadrunner. Left him 2 miles behind me.

My first car was a '51 Henry J by Kaiser. 85 horsepower. A guy bought it from me in "64, dropped a 426 with goodies in it, chopped, channelled, and tubbed it, and named it the Hemi J. Did pretty well until it failed to shut down going through the traps at 160+mph. He walked away from it but the car was toast.

By '64 I was fully grown. 6'7" & 350 lbs. My J didn't fit me by then. I needed WD40 & a shoe horn to get in. WD40 hadn't been invented yet and grease stained my jeans. Getting out was easier. I'd just fall to the left.

Saweeeetttt, a 426 Hemi, should have been the Hemi die timer....Didn't they have a standard RB engine block, with hemi heads and didn't they eventually graduate to top dog racing capacity for a while?? I knew a couple of friends and they were always messen with theirs just so they could race each other later...Bad little tear em up sure piece of machinery... :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
