that was great. But I have a question. What web site makes this possible? Is it possible to type in a serial number and find out if it is active or exists somewhere? I'd like to check out a few numbers of my own. Norm

Belive it or not im doing the same thing for my dad. He had a 59 English ford Anglia when I was a baby and he always talked about it . well I decided to find one and fixit up the way he had his. I wound up buying a 57 english ford squire the only difference between the two was the squire had windows and the anglia was a panel van. well i bought the car and figured I would just weld some panels where the windows are and make it a panel. well I ran an add on craigs list for some mustang parts I was selling and a guy called up wanting to know if I wanted to sell the english ford because he needed parts for his.and you could see mine in the back ground of the pics I took. I told him no and explained what I was doing and was telling him how my dad had built his. and the guy said I think I have your dads car. its been in storage for 20 + years well the guy has agreed to sell it back to me. here is a pic of it when my dad had it not a very good pic but a pic .I have already bought the wheels and have a motor ready to go in it.

That's a real tear jerker. The General is hittting the mark with they're latest run of "Chevy runs deep" commercials. Ford should take note.

We have three sons. I am going to e-mail this to all three. I met their mother 50 some years ago in my 1956 Belair convertible. Those 56 convertibles run $75,000 - $85,000 today. Maybe they could find me a PHOTO of it................................

I attribute it to the massive numbers built, especially the Impala which I believe is the largest selling model name in automobile history (?)
Every time I take mine out, at least two people relate that they had/grew up with/knew somebody who had one. Being newer than my Cabriolet, it tends to draw a younger crowd!

I wish my kids would do that for me. I can think of 2 different cars I'd love to have back. A 1956 Nomad and a 1972 Nova. But that's been 35 t0 40 years ago. Oh man and that '64 Galaxie 2 dr. post with the factory 390 cu in and 4 speed. Oh my God I think of a lot of cars I'd like to have back. I think I'll just be happy with my model t's.

I still have my 1965 Impala SS Butternut Yellow (black interior and top) convertible that I bought in high school back in 1968. Don't drive it very often, but it is still a great car. I'm glad to see other folks appreciate the cars from their younger days.
