Funny thing, his uncle bougt a Crown Victoria new early 57. Ford Sweden recieved a boatload unsold 56s between
christmas and new year they sold them as 57s. Many of them was skyliners and several was sold in my onehorse town
This guy who was a little kid then though, when i grow up and get a driverslicense im going to buy a new Crown vic me to.
He said it was like a spaceship in contrast to all black Volvo 444 and militarygreen SAAB Djungeldrums
when he got a licens he could just afford a 56 customline 40 years later he bought this one and found out later it was his uncles car

Then wife and i had a small roadtrip

A typical North Swedish gravelroad built in the 30s, during the depression as uninployment aid.
Mostly with shovels wheelbarrows, manpower and dynamite
Then improwed during the war, by Comunists and other elements that was considered a safety risk to have in the Army.

56 was a real step forward for Ford. 1st year for 12v. and the best looking dash ever, right up to today. Nice car.

Definitely a nice ride, if I never get old I have to get me one.
I have 54 waiting it's turn, I got it from my dad it's a bit crusty but it just it goes here.
Last summer me and buddy were on a car lot slash museum in Stockholm suburbs and boy you guys have a lot much better rides there,  wich I already know but seeing that...
