    1953 was Ford's 50th anniversary model year. That's what the center piece of the horn ring says.

    Had a 53 Ford just like that one in 63 only 10 years old at the time it was a great 3 speed over drive I was home on leave in November 1963 getting the Ford ready for a paint job listening to the radio heard that our president was shoot in Dallas will never forget that day

    I am just 3 years older than this Ford. I have always liked most cars from this time frame. If SSA sent me more money I would love to restore this '53 and drive it every day and wave to all that wave or honk as we go by. I hope you find somebody that will restore and show-off this great car, saving it from disintegrating.

    In a world filled with lunacy, I come here for refuge. No matter what is going on in my tiny world, I come here and my grin grows exponentially. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing it with us all.

    @muffs55mercury61 2 роки тому +2

    Nice to see it come back to life. The motor when rebuilt is probably worth more than the car as there's always a demand for flatheads out there.
    I like what appears to be a 1952-54 Nash you have there. Cool !
    Back in 1964-65 our neighbor's son, then 17-18 had one of these Fords. After driving it for a year he left for the Army and sold it for $75 but I was too young for a license just yet. Dang !!

    driving between the snowdrifts on an oil rig service road, dark, cold , 70 miles to home in a blizzard with two packs of smokes and 12 oz of whiskey to go on. Hank on the radio singing cold cold heart. Ah for the good old days......

      Reminds me of a couple of cars bought by a friend of mine at 0 Over 999 Sales back then. He drove them till they quit, and took the plates off. Went back and bought another one..or two...

    "Even has a holy crap handle in the back." I love that! When I was old enough to know who my grandfather was, this is the car that I remember him driving. Circa 1960.

    My neighbor had a 53 with the flat head V8 and 3 on the tree, pink with a white roof. He let it sit, outside, all winter long but come summer, he would put the battery back in, and fire it up. 1 fall, an ice storm brought a tree limb down on it; severely dented the roof, but broke no glass. It was a very neat car, sounded good with glasspacks. Oh yes, btw, the hub cap is from a 69 Plymouth Fury III or VIP. I had a green sedan, same 1's.

    I'm having a pleasant Sunday afternoon watching these vids in order, (finally) It's nice to see an old Cusso coming back to life. It's only a small V8 but it has a meaty growl. I also am a big fan of green on the early 50's cars. Certain shapes seem to go with certain colours.

    I had a buddy in 1959 that had a 53 ford conv. We put duals on it, chopped 1coil out of front springs, and 56 dodge lancer hubcaps. If I remember right, we picked up quite a few chicks with that.

    The hubcap is from a 1969 fury 3 like mine. We had a 1954 Ford when I was a kid. It ran great until my mom creamed the quarter panel! It had an “engine turned” dash and a Speedo with a little window on top to let in light in the day time. My Fury runs great also although the 318 has to work pretty hard to move such a heavy machine.

  • @vanhala7

    Thumbs up again for saving another green car. I like inline 6cyl. engines much more and was amazed that you own so many cars with that kind of engine, including the daily driver Frazer. Propably the rest of the world assumes that nearly all American automobiles run with a V8. Maybe because of the astonishing fact: Over 1 Billion !! engines have been produced to date!!

      @coldwarmotors  8 років тому +2

      I suppose so? I don't really try to sell any of these 50's cars, but this one deserves a proper resto that I don't have time for, so I'd let it go to a good home. I'm not in a hurry though, you know? I kinda like it sitting by the shop looking sweet and untouched. All the best from me and Stel...
