rocketraider Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Cragars and narrow whites. Epitome of Sixties cool!😎 Is that a factory interior color scheme? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deac Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 That looks a cool car with a floor shifter and a console. The Cragar wheels actually look pretty good! I like the way the dash gauges are laid out/designed. The air conditioner compressors were pretty big in those day but I don't see one in cryptic picture. GLWTS!

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Wow. Looks like a Mark IV AC unit. I did not know the factory installed those! Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I think Ford's first integrated in-dash A/C was 1965; Thunderbird and Lincoln probably earlier. So the hang-on is accurate for the era, as is the big loud York compressor Ford used. A Ford factory or dealer installed unit would have had a Ford or Mercury crest somewhere on the faceplate. Can't zoom in enough to see if this one has it. Considering most airconditioned cars of that era had aftermarket units, I wouldn't quibble about it.

TexRiv_63 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Very pretty and rare car. Not sure about the interior design but it looks right. Needs a real good underside inspection, not sure if the price is a "steel" or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Skelly Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Someone took a LOT of liberties with that interior. Here's a stock version: 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconvertibleguy Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Not a big fan of the white, but the rest looks nice. Wild to see an S-55. Would love to see what their VIN looks like compared to one that I know up here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the console looks correct to me and if the center of the door panels were a dark red, he would have been close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
