I may have come across a good deal on a 57 Town Victoria.I haven't seen it yet but I will in the next few days.The letters at the beginning of the VIN indicate the original engine size the same as 55 and 56 don't they?

 Go to the links section of this site and click on 1957Ford.com tells you everything you need to know about '57 Fords--models,colors(interior/exterior),data plates,etc. KID

PW: Keep in mind that after 52 yrs, the original engine code could now be meaningless. However, I'm interested in what the car turns out to be like, as that's the model I have. A 500 version is a model 57-A. Major problem areas with them is the window channels & mechanisms etc.

Thanks Paul and Kid.I'll check this car out this weekend,I hope, and let you know what I find.
