Just a couple of wipes with a little bondo and it'll be as good as new!

Last summer I saw a '55 Crown Victoria Sun Valley (glass roof) for sale,same guy I bought my '55 TBird from. Almost changed my mind on the TBird for the Crown Vic very unusual came with a 6 cylinder stick,No V8 emblems on front fenders just the I-6 emblems. Someone back in '55 must have went over budget after the crown and greenhouse.

Ford produced plenty of "upscale" Fairlanes with many options that also had the 223 I-block 6. The Ford I-6 was very popular then. I've seen an all factory original '55 Sunliner (convertible) that had all the bells and whistles (4-way power seat, power windows, power brake booster, fender skirts, accessories galore) but had 223 with Ford-o-Matic trans.

By the looks of the steering wheel, my guess is that the driver
did Not probably live long enough to see all that damage.

Just though I'd show a pic of what an off-topic car
looks like that tangled with a pole...
By the looks of this, I don't think the driver got to see it either.

The driver in this one may have survived, I don't know.

That is exactly what I thought when I noticed the steering wheel. Looks like the death grip on the steering wheel I've read so much about. Poor guy.
