Went to a car show today. I took my 56 Ford Fairlane. A fellow who obviously was an expert on 56 Fords proceeded to tell me that the 56 could be bought with a 312 that was not special order and that the 312's in 56 had a flat top radiator. I thought the 292 was the standard engine in the Fairlanes and the 312 had to be ordered and I have owned four 56 Fords and none had a flat top radiator? What say the forum? Thanks G.S.
