Equipment
57 E Code dual quad engine, chrome wire wheels, overdrive 3 speed, P S, skirts, continental kit, whitewalls, pushbutton radio, fog lights, P B, sill moldings. Good older paint, interior and major chrome, scratched trim, a little grungy underhood but will respond to detailing and touchup. A very nice driver.
Market commentary
Exactly why, pray tell, is a 56 Ford with a 57 E code dual quad V 8 a big deal It brought a high bid of $21,500 at Auburn Fall in 04, sold for $43,500 at Dave Rupps Ft. Lauderdale auction in 07 and tried to find a home at Spring Carlisle where the bidding stopped at $30,000 and then here. Its a usable driver that will spin its tires, but a modified car that has no relation to any other 56 or 57 Ford. The reported high bid should have bought it.
