1956 Ford Convertible - (1961-1961) Photos taken by Bob Hoffman on Memorial Park Drive in Tallahassee in about 1961. My mother bought new in 1956, sold to my brother in 1958, then he sold it to me in 1961. I actually had this car at the same time as the 1959 Pontiac. I was working for the US Post Office, making a whopping $8 per hour, so could easily afford two cars :) This is the car that my brother drove through radar doing 130 one night - I think he changed the rear end to give it a much higher ratio, thus the high speeds. The car served us well for many years and I don't really recall where it went. I think I might have traded it for the 1959 Oldsmobile.
