Great set of pix - enjoyed them all. It’s nice to see these everyday cars preserved and presented.

The '56 Ford is actually a '55 Ford Crown Victoria.

Great set! Brings back so many childhood memories. The Buick is especially spectacular. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Great set FL, as usual. The Fairlane and the Starchief are both '55s, though.

The Judges agreed that the Buick was spectacular and awarded it a Best in Class trophy!

My mistake, I should have got the year right as my first car was a 1956 Ford Sunliner that I purchased for the grand sum of $50 (bad auto trans and usual rust)!

You are correct, the Pontiac is a '55 and was a typo on my part as I once owned 2 1955 Pontiac 2 dr sedans and know them well. I have a greater problem dating the 1955 and 56 Fords, however. Thanks for picking up this error.

Great series, Rodder, I love that 1955 green and white Buick convertible.

Probably the easiest way to tell the difference is by identifying the chrome trim on the door. Ribbed on the orange and white '56.

Love the Chevy fifties, but without Mr. Ford and his visions for car bodies, life in the 50-60's would be so boring.
Love to have one or two of those beauties in my driveway, but who can afford the upkeep of replacement parts.
They threw away the molds for most of them......Keep the memories in photos.
