You look at the engine compartment of those mid 50s cars and see that itty bitty master cylinder and wonder how in the hell did we get those cars stopped running at 90 -100 mph?

I never was a Ford guy but that black and white 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria is one good looking car. I like the teal car ... auto and AC !

I had a '56 Fairlane 4 door blue and white
put a 352 Police Interceptor motor in it
got 5 MPG when I put my foot in it ... which was every time I drove it
my brother stole it and wrecked it ... turned out to be a habit with him ... and as usual Dad reimbursed me
when I bought a new car my senior year of high school Dad told him if he stole this one he would be the one working to repay me ... he didn't steal that one but he did steal and wreck one more car from me ... a '72 MGB
