    I remember that from the Chicago auto show. Late ‘60’s and ‘70’s Mercury almost always had a live Cougar in a cage or on a car.

    The '55 Ford is a V-8, but both the '56 and '58 Chevys are 235-6 Cylinder cars.

    I guess you might be able to special order a milage maker 6 in a Fairlane. Haven’t seen one. The ‘55 would have at least the 272 and the ‘56 behind it would have had a 292, or perhaps the 312 Thunderbird special. I have a ‘57 with a 235 6. Think Jacks DelRay also has the 235.

    Ah, the Kaiser Jeeps, what the Tonka Jeeps were patterned after.

    Wow that dealership was way ahead of the times, foreshadowing Renault, then Peugeot/Citroen ownership of the Jeep Brand?
