I just joined up a couple of days ago so I thought I would drop in on the 54+ forum and post a couple of pictures of my '57 Ford Skyliner and my '69 Ford pickup. The Retractable was pretty much done when I bought it but I have made a few upgrades, one being a new dash pad and I also rebuilt the generator. It needs new carpet so that is next on the list. We use it mostly for parades and weddings but the wife drives it to the local cruise nights too. The pickup was a true barn find and an unmolested one owner truck. I also got the early take off tailgate with it. I need to rebuild the engine before I can drive it.


Good to be on the board.

LockDoc, welcome. I like the skyliner, my uncle bought a new one in '58
and I thought they were really a classy unique convertible at that time,
heck, They Still Are Very Classy.

The '69 pickup (even though it's a farm truck) is going to be pretty nice
with a little cleanup, but maybe you should mount a Chrome Pigeon on the
hood and just clearcoat over the droppings on the hood.

Thanks guys.

Lanny: I like the idea about the clearcoat. Maybe I could even break an egg in the middle of it...
