1956 Ford Skyliner (Glasstop) We restored this car in 1988 from an original car that came from the Indian reservation here on  Vancouver Island .  It is full power with all options.

1956 Meteor Crown  Victoria  We restored this car in 1990 and drove it to  Ocean Shores Washingtonfor its first drive.  It is full power with all accessories except "air".

1955 Meteor Convertible This car is mostly original and it has taken me 28 years to buy it from the origional owner. This car spent a good part of its life in  Winnipeg .  There is probably only about 8 of these cars surviving out of the total production of 201 cars. We have driven this car more last summer than any of our other cars. I rebuilt all the mechanics and added all the accessories and options and it has everything except "air".  There is an article on this car in FoMoCo Times

1956 Meteor Convertible Meteors used some Mercury colors in 1956.  This 56 Meteor is painted Grove Green and Saffron Yellow with a black lightning bolt and the production numbers are only 479. It is full power with all accessories except "air".  She has taken us to Rockin  Red Deer in Alberta , Hot August Nights in  Reno and many other trips.   Because of the colour, we call her  "Juicy Fruit" and many people have seen this car.

1956 Mercury M-100 Pickup We have driven this truck all over the place form  Calif to Manitoba to Sturgis many times since we bought it in 1978.  About 12 years ago I put an Aspen suspension , 302 and AOD in the truck to make it drive better.  It has never missed a beat.  The next time I rebuild the truck I have a 5 L. for it.
