Default Re: 56 Courier

It is possible that Ford only used the "Courier" designation on the '52-54 sed delivery's. I say this because until just a couple of years ago I knew of a '52-53 Ford Courier sitting in a grove of trees in Central Nevada.
I drive through that part of Nevada several times a year traveling to a place I have in Idaho. During one of my trips I happened to stop near an abandoned ranch for a break, noting some vehicles sitting in the clump of trees I walked over to take a look. There were two 36 Dodge pickups and a '52-53 Ford Courier. As I recall, the Courier had a swinging door that opened on the right, swinging to the left, on the rear fenders there were two script emblems that said "Courier".
I have pictures of the cars, however, they are prior to digital and are buried away in one of my albums.
Until last fall the Dodges were still there but someone got the Courier about three years ago.
