January 6,1954
Today marks 60 years ago when television aired this advertisements about visiting your local Ford Dealer to see the all new 1954 Fords. HRP

Re: January 6,1954
My folks bought a brand new '54 Ford V8/auto Customline tudor, the first new car they ever owned. In '56 (I was 10), I talked my dad into installing a complete Sears dual exhaust system that included a new left hand manifold and glass packs. We did the swap in our small one car garage.
Mom thought it was cool, dad not so much, as he had to drive it to work, and it was loud. But, it sounded so good! I don't remember any other kid my age, in my neighborhood or at school, who's parents had dual glass packs on their car in '56! My first car in '62 was a......'54 Ford.

Re: January 6,1954
Probably about $1500 ...lotta coin back then . My late uncle bought a new '52 , then traded on a '53 and finally went to a new '54 ...all pretty much the same shade of green .Obviously he liked that body style .
