First of all congratulation on the win. My wife and I have begun to look for a 56’ Vicki. Question, what is the panel in blue at the level of the door handle with the trim around it? I have not seen that before on a Ford. Was it a transplant from the 56 Mercury?

Looks beautiful Moonshine! Merc, best of luck in finding what you are looking for. I found mine 2 years ago and it had been stored for many years. Not as nice as Moonshines but I think the 56 is the best looking of the Fords.

A BIG THANKS to everyone!! I was surprised when they called my name! Ricklove, I ordered me some turquoise seat belts today from Wesco Performance. They will have the chrome lift buckles on them.

Awesome car. I love the colorcoded wheels, dogdish caps and beauty rings. That is still my favorite wheel combination. And the colors are my favorite too. My 60 F100 was that basic color combo, before a po painted it.

We had an All Aussie Car Day here on Sunday in country town apx 85 miles south of Perth. There were about 300 cars in attendance and a friend's beautiful 55 Sunliner took out the judges Best Car in Show. A great honour.
