Some friends of mine asked me to park my 57 in front of the restaurant where their Class of 57 was having a reunion, and celebration of the 75th anniversary of their high school. A lot of people had their picture taken in front of the car. Lot's of comments, like I used to have one like that. I changed to 15" wheels and tried 65 Ford LTD spinner wheel covers. I had the wheels painted red and the LTD spinners have a red circle in them too. I think a lot of people on this site will think that Ford was the "Class of 57".

Paul: That must have been a group of OLD people. I can say that, since i'm so much younger. I graduated in '58.

John,
There was a lot of gray hair in the group...but I was also in the class of 57, different school, so I can't say too much. After I graduated, I bought a new 57 Ford Convertible. It was a great era to grow up in and live through, I wouldn't trade it for any other time, if a person could do that :-)

I graduated from high school in 1962 and drove a 1950 GMC to school from when I was 14 and got my license when I was 16. I fell in love with 56 Fords when they hit the showroom. Finally in 1964 when I was a sophomore in college I found one cheap enough to afford. I sold the original one in 1981. The title and the frame was about the only thing original. I now have 3 56 Fords and all the parts to build a 4th one

Mine was in 61, should have been 60 also, but I was much too smart to go to school (skool) one year.

I'm sure the car was the highlight of the party for many of the old times. Signed Class of 89!
