I remember my mom used these same springs to put curtains in a 57 ford
wagon that dad bought brand new. We all thought it was pretty neat looking.
They were kinda like screen door springs but smaller diameter.
This reminds me of something. I know we all hate fords here, but do any
of you have any idea if a 427 ford motor was produced in 57. This wagon that
my dad had came from the factory with what he said was a 427 and it had two
four barrels on it. He said he was contacted by the factory to bring the car
back and they would give him a new motor because they wanted this one back.
It wasn't supposed to be put in a car much less a station wagon. They said
it was a experimental design that somehow showed up in that old wagon. He
loved the way it ran, so he kept it. I was just curious if any one here had
any recollections of them days. I wasn't but 3 years old when it was new,
but remember growing up riding in it. I was 14 or 15 when he finally sold
it. Thanks for indulging me. Hope I don't make to many people mad at
me....... Wish I still had that old clunker...
