2025 Greenwood Car Show: Ford

  

From 1954 to 56, Ford would sell you a car with a transparent plastic top, like this 1955 Crown Victoria. Not for Arizonans I think.

 

  

You're looking at about $200K these days to purchase a 1968 Shelby GT500 Mustang in top condition. Many of the factory Mustang body parts were replaced with fiberglass.

 

 

This 1940 convertible is one of the best-looking cars Ford ever made.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The original Ford F-100 made between 1953 and 1956 is the classic truck everyone wants. This 1953 has the last of Ford's old-fashioned flathead V-8 engines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A very rare 1966 Ford Fairlane GT 390. Ford sold only 4,200 Fairlane GT's that year. They sold 607,000 Mustangs.

1957 Ford Fairlane convertible, 1961 Ford Thunderbird and other clean used cars

 The '77 Malibu from my last post was from the Shoreline used car dealer who happens to sell a lot of vintage cars. Don't know where he gets them.

 

Ford sold more cars in 1957 than Chevy, but a '57 Bel Air convertible is worth three times as much as the Fairlane convertible from that year.

 

There's no mistaking a Thunderbird for any other car.

 

More from the bigger is better era: 1962 Chevrolet Impala with 283 v-8.

1977 Chevrolet El Camino. If the classic car-truck is your jam, and you're on a budget.

Time is an illusion. 1979 Cadillac Fleetwood, 1955 Ford Fairlane, 1965 Plymouth Barracuda

There are some neighborhoods in Seattle where you can street store the cars you're (slowly) restoring.
