Why would you ruin this beautiful car by putting a GD Shitrolay Motor in it?

Are you sure that the engine is not 255.4 cubic inches? Mercury started with a 239 cid engine in 1939. That was increased to 255.4 (255) for 1949.

These a**holes are so dumb they don't know that Lincoln didn't introduce the Zephyr until 1936. But what would you expect from idiots who would put a GD piece of crap Shitrolay engine in this beautiful machine designed by John Tjaarda with input from Edsel Ford (yes, THAT Edsel Ford). It pisses m...

@bogdanmitrovic Stick those f**king silver medals up your Commie-loving butt, Boris!!!

@RobDog65 When I was a kid in the late 1950s and early 1960s play-by-play man Tom Decker would always say "It's a win for the Wings!" and then play "Pretty Red Wing" following each victory by the Rochester Red Wings AAA baseball team of the International League. As far as the Detroy-it (that's th...

This was their first recording for Warner Bros. records after they left Cadence. "Cathy's Clown" sold over eight million records.

The Jordanaires singing backup, Floyd Cramer on piano, Grady Martin on bass to name a few. The Nashville "A" team. Producer Owen Bradley was a genius

We used to sing this in Sunday School at the Methodist Episcopal Church that I grew up in in Western New York. Some other standards were "Follow The Gleam," "Jesus Loves Me," and "Help Somebody Today,"

@huddleout I think it's Al Hirt on trumpet. The vibrato and the clearness of the notes sound like Al.

Bobby Helms version of this song is the only one that should ever be played. Period.

This great song was written by Johnny Marks who also wrote "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" for Gene Autry. Brenda is the only person who should ever be allowed to sing it!

@390merc65 My Daddy had a new FORD each year from 1937-73. He died in 1974. The most my Daddy paid to trade was about $750 in the '70s. His cars were always "showroom fresh," so they re-sold very easily. A few of my favorites were his '56 Fairlane H/T with a 292. His '57 Fairlane 500 H/T with a T...

First heard this on WKBW 1520 in Buffalo, NY in the summer of '59.

@imjustpassinthru Believe me pal, I ain't joking. And I do take my FORDs seriously.

The only thing wrong with this car is the goddamn pos Shitrolay 350 engine! Why you idiots ruin these beautiful FORD cars with those Chevy motors is beyond me. And don't give me the arguement that the Chevy is cheaper to buy or easier to install. You're right on the "cheap" part. What's a junk 35...

Take the TTC, eh?

I'm pretty sure that was Boots Randolph on sax. And it's definitely Floyd Cramer on piano and the Anita Kerr Singers. It doesn't get any better than that. Today's "artists" wouldn't make a patch on any of their behinds!

That commercial is from 1952 at the earliest. It couldn't be from 1950 because the front numbers on the uniform were supposed to debut in the '51 Series (thanks Bobby Thomson) but had to wait until Opening Day in '52. Did you notice how skinny Zim was? Great commercial!

Man, why did you ruin a great piece of FORD iron by putting a GD piece-of-sh*t Chebby motor in it and then ruin the outside with those GD Buick portholes! Guys like you think you're so "cool" doing crap like this. How would you like it if we put 351s or 302s or big block Ford 460 or 545 in your G...

Don is backed by the Ray Conniff Orchestra and Chorus. Doesn't get any better than that!

This is a great cover of Little Eva's original version of this Carole King/Jerry Goffin penned song. Good tempo and beat.

@jims59DOTcom Interesting. It sounds like a car the old maid schoolteacher would drive. Stylish but practical.

@ZeekWolfe1 You should try to find a '54 Ford. They have the same body as the '53s but have the MacPherson strut front suspension. Ford was the first of the "low-price three" to use the MacPherson front end. Yeah, I guess I'm so familiar with Ford interiors that they seem like my own home to me. ...

It's spelled GARDINER. Great vid though. I've driven that many times.

@jdmick A guy in our town had a '50 Custom Tudor (that "Two Door" in Ford-speak for you Bowtie nutjobs) with a 239-CID flathead. He installed glass pack mufflers on it. Talk about a sweet sound! And you're right, why would anyone want to ruin a beautiful FORD vehicle with a GD piece-of-sh*t Chevy...

1953 was the 50th anniversary of Ford Motor Company. The horn button on every '53 model said this. The 100th anniversary was in 2003. And Ford is the only member of the Big Three that didn't beg for and receive help from Chairman Obama.

A lot of older folks pronounce it Raach-ster, basically forgetting the "e." Speaking of white hot dogs, when I was growing up we always called them "porkers" because they are made with pork. You also forgot Rochester-area towns like Avon (Av-on), Lima (Lye-ma), Nunda (Nun-day) and Honeoye (Honey-...

@canadian49 I never attended a game at MLG without wearing a coat and tie. Major Conn Smythe wanted his "patrons" to dress up when attending a Leaf game. Look at old photos of fans. Men in suits, ladies in dresses with furs, jewels and hats. I had so much respect for the place that I always dress...

I visited that room at the HHOF. I also visited the real Maple Leafs dressing room at the Gardens in '93. GO LEAFS GO!

When I visited Montreal a few years back for a hockey game the Subway was on strike. Getting a cab was almost impossible. The Montreal Subway cars run on tires rather than rails like Toronto does. And you don't see any graffiti in TTC cars! In T.O. that is a no-no! I don't know what time of day t...

@spockistheman I said IF the FORD was stock it would have been a Y-block. At least the FORD has FORD power and not a GD Chevy 350. And the '57 Chevy has a supercharger, no? How is the FORD aspirated? Carb? Fuel Injection? You do know that the 351 CID Ford V-8s actually are 352 CID but FoMoCo call...

This is the 1961 album version with the Jordanaires, Floyd Cramer, Grady Martin, etc. The "Nashville Sound" at its best. But I miss the Honky Tonk steel guitar from the original recording from 1957.

This is the 1957 original version with the classic "Honky Tonk" steel guitar. Great record!

@blazerlover25 I'm far from perfect. LOL And I applaud you for your respect for the older FORDs. The '49-'51 model FORDs all used the same body style. The '49s and '50s had a single "spinner" in the center of the grille. The '51s had two spinners on the outboard side. The Victoria hardtop shown w...
