Welcome to Bike Forums, 56ford! Depending on what that Ford is, it was one of the best years for that make.

Thanks LAJ! It’s a 56 Ford Victoria 2dr hardtop. One of my Ford favorites. My other favorite is the 36 3w coupe that I’m working on now.

Thanks! I’ll be posting pics of my 50s Hercules project and 67 Raleigh Sports in the “For the Love of English 3 Speeds” as soon as I can.
