If Chevrolet would have said YES.... (Cobra Related)

[G.R.]

I never really much cared for any of the 55-57 Ford or Chevy "posts" or coupes, convertibles were ok--my favorites were the Nomads, any year, and the wagons or sedan deliverys, Fords 2 door 56 wagon or sedan delivery just had a look to it, if you know what I mean

And the 'Bird--was underpowered, overpriced--Ford marketing thought it would be a better seller as a 4 passenger--Thus came the pre-cursor of the "bloatmobile", that's why Mustang came along, the concept shown at, I think, Detroit in 62(?) was a 2 seater sporting a V-8 and I think a floor mounted 3-speed ala the early 'Birds --

Also you put down the Chevy 6--Amazing fact if they were so unreliable--How come so many old 40s and 50s Chevy trucks are still running today?Not many Fords out there from that era still running with the orginal flathead engine---one other thing on race tracks around the country an Offy prepped Chevy 6 was hard to beat --Offenhauser knew how to build the engine into a real performer--and that it did on the strip and on both the circle and dirt tracks--Fords flatheads couldn't compete--

One other note early Toyota Land Cruisers used a Chevy 6 as their prototype for their engine from its introduction unti lthey quit production dropping the "jeep" type vehicle--

I guess this a Ford based site so I better shut-up now
