And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Right, it's a 53. 52 had parking, turn signal lights on the end of the grill bar. Nice old style custom, except for the graphics being a little awkwardly done. Bubbarust
Last of the flathead series, I'm a big fan of the shoebox and post-era and that is a great example. Oddly, Ford had an OHV six in those years before the Y-block ended the V8 flatty reign.
52? I like it already; it's got a clutch pedal.
ReplyDeleteI'd say you are correct... 1952 Ford.

Looks like the car Barney Fife bought from the old lady that turned out to be a lemon.
ReplyDeleteThe paint scheme isn't my cup of tea, but I like it because it's different. And beautifully done.

ReplyDeleteThat short-throw shifter and white gauge set are hints that it does not have a flathead six under the hood.
ReplyDeleteFrom the klunky post-war years, when anything with wheels would sell, even a body style based on a sack of potatoes.
