I’m old enough to remember when “Christmas Lawn Decoration” meant there was a handy Dad with a saber saw, and enough extra time to design (or scale up the annual Popular Mechanics designs), get plywood, etc.

What surprised me is that this is in my general neighborhood, on a street I routinely take to a grocery, and somehow I didn’t notice it until today.

The headstock says it’s a Frostycaster. I need to introduce myself to this family.

Saw it at the store today. Either a 57 or 58 Ford Fairlane 500. Gotta love a retractable hard top convertible.

Whoa! Driver seems to have some depth perception issues though…

 

[Audandash]

Not gonna lie. I always wanted one after i saw the adventures of Ford Fairlane with andrew dice clay in the early 90s. I see them periodically but not in this kind of shape. Good daily driver. Doesn’t appear to be a show car and didn't go in for antique tags which means its used as it should be. I like it!

My GF bought me a whole case of these beers. What in the world? Where do you even buy this? AliExpress? Tayda? No label at all. Not even "No Name" . Just says Beer/Bière.

How's it tastes?

How's it tastes?

Like cheap beer. Headache included.

That's what Budweiser has always done to me. Along with Miller... No problems with Tecate!

Looks like a '58 to me.
(Note front bumper)

The '57 would have more of the rear quarters match the lower body-colour:

Then after the evenly balanced '58's paint, Ford went back to the more bottom-heavy body colouring, but with very different metal-based styling cues, note the tailfin's turnsignals, double headlights (introduced in '58), etc...

They also came in solid colour-schemes...

Local '57






1958 at a show near here, Continental kit hiding the split in the taillights' bezels:





Another local show, another '57 hardtop-convertible.






'Tis a big car with a big trunk and very little trunk space — it's all taken up by the top and its mechanism for launch and retraction.
I've got some more pics of the trunk, a couple more cars — a pink one and a red one, don't recall the years — but... too many photos to sift through, and too little time.

I liked the half assed "make sure this dumb ass shit doesn't make you crash your car" disclaimer. Why do you need vehicular hand strength workouts so bad anyway?

You could insert the archer phrasing meme into that video like punctuation. Every other sentence I'm like "that is also what she said." A man named both Beaver and Felton teaching finger exercises? This is some strange smut.
