Sorry to hear about your Ford truck. I have always liked Chevys myself. I have had a 1963 Ford station wagon, a 1958 Ford pickup, and now I have a 2000 Ford Ranger. It seems that you had a lemon. Most of these Rangers go for a long time. I sure hope mine does.

I guess I'm a Chevy guy--grew up with them, but I'll have to go to bat for the Ford sedan with the 4.6 automatic like in my work car, nothing I have ever driven works that well--not even the Chevy Caprice!

Sorry guys, I'm going to have to weigh in as a Ford man.

I don't like to think that I have any particular loyalty to a company, but due to various factors I have ended up owning several Fords, and I really have no big complaints. I had a '98 Ranger, a '95 Crown Victoria, an '88 F-150, and currently have a '93 F-250 diesel. The Crown Vic was, I think, my favorite car ever. I got it at a police auction. That thing was bad-ass.

keith · 08-23-2012, 07:54 AM

of cause the crown vic has a lot better frame than any old show car,,there build that way....my brother is a cop and his crown will reach 160 mph,,becuaue it don'y have a japan motor...

Lets see.. you could take some 59 chevy, 58 Edsel, 59 pontiac, and so forth and make your own front end decorations...

Have him take you for a ride at 160. Let us know how fast you got up to.

chev49 · 08-23-2012, 12:42 PM

Even my 49 Chevy will do very close to that speed...
Am kinda afraid to drive it over 140 with the stock front suspension.

GreyEagle · 08-23-2012, 12:46 PM

Just sold an 2007 Mustang GT, I got up to 145 mph before I backed out of it but it was still climbing......
Way to old for that stuff and way too many cops around these days... guess I'mm getting old because I have no desire to travel at 160 mph anymore...
I'm happy just to be moving.....

Stage diving would be extra exciting!

OH! I know. It's a Crownedsel. They are very rare. I think they were made in Saginaw Michigan. This one is a 1958.

If Edsel's where still around this is what they might look like.....

Way cool Edsel photos.

By the way, I had a 1963 Studebaker and several 60s Ramblers. Gone are the days of those cool cars. The 1961 Rambler wagon was cool.

Also, there was no such thing as a Crownedsel. Just goofin' on you all.

Well I did Google it and nothing came up..... Kinda figured as much...... That's when I found the 2008 Edsel Crown Vic..

I had a 1964 Studebaker station wagon... nice one, 6 cylinder, 3 speed w/am radio ....... Kinda like today's SUV 's and Crossovers......

For you guys that think you are still 17, if you get a flat or have a tire come apart because it's not rated for that speed, you're done. TOAST! Whatever car you are in will not withstand a wreck at 140mph. If you do it again, make sure you put me in your will...just because I told you so.

chev49 · 08-24-2012, 02:03 AM

I put Thomas Tusser, the inventor of the Thomas Bus in mine...

ol trunt · 08-24-2012, 09:01 PM

I put myself in my will---someone has to pay for the bake and shake
