The Ford Barn

It was just mentioned in another thread and coincidentally, I just saw a TV show where a '53 Wildfire is the subject. If you get a chance to see "Fast and Loud" in your area, check out the episode where they get one of these to turn. It first got my attention because it had a flathead in it. Then, I was amazed when they showed it on the rack and it had a Columbia OD in it. Interesting bit of history.

Also saw that program and did a little research on you tube.Look for a program from the 50's called "You asked for it" .They show how to build one of the Wildfires using Ford running gear including Columbia rear end.
