Nice car with some modifications. Nice wheels too! But then again he says he's 71 yr old just like me

That's OK. I like TT's especially the polished shiny ones............

DID anyone notice the 57 or 58 blue ford in the pic with the comet on the trailer ??? it's prettier then the whls on the comet....( I think it's a 57).....

[albert]

It's a 57 Ford with full moon hubs

[popscomet]

IT A 57 for sure !! I came back and enlarged my pic,,,then it was very plain....those wheel covers were popular on the lead sled mercury's,,,OL POP has owned several of those 57's,they have been one of my favorits,,but I've always been a fan of the Y-block....

I had a 56 Meteor Rideau with the 312 T Bird motor, my father had a 57 Meteor Niagara. Meteors were unique to Canada in those days and they were merely Fords with some deluxe trim etc. and were sold by Mercury dealers.

I still have the orig 312 4bbl 225 hp and tranny that came out of GLENDA'S 56 ford...yrs ago ,a friend gave me a 62 meteor ,it had a 221 ci ,,in fact when I bought my comet and drove it home,I could tell the rockers were worn bad,,so I took the rockers off the 221 and used them on the comet
