My first 56 Victoria was on hand from 1963 thru 1966 - lots of good memories - was Thunder Road.  Who'd a thunk it?  Anyway, my Dad looked a lot like Robert Mitchum and the 56 wasn't that far off the 57 Mitchum said the salesman promised him 140 on the flat.

The current 56 gets many different names.  Bug Killer, Geezer Pleaser, TR II, Screamin' Demon, Renegade.  One may stick and get painted on somewhere.

You gotta have the right tools and know how to use 'em.

My antique/classic trucks all have names:

"Little Red" is my red 64 F100 Shortbed Styleside

"Big Red" is my red 63 F100 Uni Longbed

"Big 'Un" is my red 63 F250 Long Flareside

Don't really have a name for my 63 Crew Cab yet (pre-project stage). Maybe BMF? :-)

LITTLE RED: 64 Ford F100 Short Bed Styleside
BIG RED: 63 Ford F100 Long Bed Unibody
BBW RED: 61 Ford F100 BBW Long Bed Custom Cab Unibody
BIG “UN: 63 F250 Longbed Flareside
CREW CAB: 63 F100 "Stageway" Crew Cab w/Long "Wrong" Bed

When I bought my F-100 (I was 16) it really struck me as an old farmer truck, and the name "EARL" jumped in my head and stuck. All through high school, and now, friends and family refer to him as "EARL"...to those outside the circle of trust, he's referred to as the "60".

When the T-Bird arrived, after hours of clean-up it revealed itself as a classy/sexy 1950's icon...almost immediately she became "AUDREY", as classy/sexy 1950's to me is Audrey Hepburn...before clean-up, she was the "BARN 'BIRD"...
