In the "The Nifty Fifties Fords" published in 1974 the production figures for 1956 read 1955 and 1955 rear 1954. They show the 1957 figures as 1956. Correcting their errors it shows the 1956 70C had only 41 with the 312 v8. Is my car really that rare or are these figures all wrong. Let me know if you have better figures and the source of the information. Thanks Jim Elkhorn, NE 68022 Jim Rowe Elkhorn, NE
