Default Re: 56 Courier

I couldn't find a code specifically for a '56 Courier, nor could I find a listing for the nameplate "Courier". But a 1956 Sedan Delivery is listed as body style 78A. Only listing for a Courier in my car Parts Book (dated 1964) for a "Courier" is 1959, and they're body style 59E. Don't think I've ever seen one of them.

The mini pickups in the 70s were indeed mostly Mazda, but badged as Ford Couriers. I was a Ford Parts Manager during some of that decade and I had numerous Couriers as department delivery trucks. Thrifty little econo-pickups, good for what they were.

Nice pic of a '56 S/D - thanks Dog427435!:
