Hey, that's restorable! Still casts a pretty good shadow.

That one's a '57- quite a bit of cancer for New Mexico, I'll bet it spent most of its life in the midwest.



I had a '59 Ford Galaxie 2 dr. HDTP- neat car, had a roofline like the square birds. It's big quirk was going through spark plugs. It had a 332 cu. in. engine- same block as 352, but less displacement. Think they only had them for a couple years. It's moist here in the Pacific Northwest, and on damp winter days, it wouldn't start. Talked to a mechanic, and he asked if it was a 332- then told me to buy 2 sets of sparkplugs and a plug wrench, keep spare set and wrench in the trunk. The said 332's all went through plugs like that, no one knew why. I was lucky to get 5,000 miles out of a set.

My first Ford was a '55 I bought in '79, was 14 years old at the time. Have had many since then, and still have my '68 PU with a hopped up 390. At 12 mpg, it doesn't pass up many gas stations, but while you are there, you can hook the chains up to the building and pull'er down while you're there.

My guess is this one will be sitting a while longer.
