That is gorgeous John!
I had one (Windsor) in 1967 that was badly rusted then. I pulled the 354 Poly and installed a 392 I had built. That car was a lot of fun for a 16 year old kid in High School. I even won my first street race with it against a 57 Chevy! Boy were all the guys surprised! I also made my first passes on a drag strip in that car.
Love your car John!

I met the owner/builder of the 57 at Tulsa, I believe this name was Tom, and as I recall he's out of Colorado (Denver?).

Yep it's got a 392 and 833 4 speed. It’s a really neat car and if I could do decent bodywork I would love to attempt to do something like it.

I’m guessing Tulsa was the biggest gathering of Forward Look era cars that has ever taken place, (and the Prowler contingent that came down was pretty impressive too)…..all in all in spite of the condition of the buried car it was a great place to be.

Besides the outside show there were some really nice cars in the indoor show. I really like this Lee Petty re-creation.

Here are some pic.s of some that my father bought new and wishes he still owned. The first one is a 55 after some custom work. This pic was taken around 1957.

This is a pic of my father's 58 Fury also purchased new. This shot was taken at the Mobil station he worked at back then.

This is my Fathers 61 Pheonix. This had a 383 with a cross ram, manual 3speed and 3.73 gears.

I bought this in 1968. It sat for a couple months until I saved enough money for insurance. It was the cleanest car in Toledo!





It met it's demise at an intersection mishap.

Here's a 56 Plymouth 277 poly. Among other differences, the valve covers are scalloped differently than the Dodge poly. The later 318 poly is just a bored/stroked version of the 277.

(Note: some 56 Plymouths still had Dodge poly engines, as Plymouth was not geared up for full production of its new V-8. In 57, all Plymouths used Plymouth poly's)

Just picked this one up. It's an all original 1963 Pace Setter with 21K miles...I can't wait to get it...

Here is a picture of my 61 Phoenix. Car came from the factory with the Dart D500 361 4 barrel motor. Somewhere along the way a 61 383 HP single 4 barrel found it's way between the fenders. This was the "standard" D500 motor for the 61 Polara and it is date coded about 2 weeks before my car was built. Pretty odd coincidence. Hopefully if I can ever find a complete long ram setup for a reasonable (I know...wishful thinking) cost I would love to do that upgrade. Getting ready to do a power front disc brake conversion in the next week or so as the old drum system with single master is plain old worn out and scary!

Another pic of 61 Phoenix. By the way...does anyone know where I can get the emblem you see on the front fender drivers side for the passenger side?? I ended up with 2 drivers sides emblems like an idiot and you can't reverse them.

Here's a "Never say never" '56 Dodge from the Mopar Nats. Was owned by a Mopar executive, ps, pb, real leather interior, dual 4's, but the real news is the transmission: this car is well-documented as the only '56 with a 3-speed automatic, and was used for testing. Oh, and the color? That's factory!
