from Michael S Moore, in Northern California: (the car belongs to a neighbor):
"A month or so ago he told me he'd found this Craigslist Ford, and a bit of its story; turns out the car was bought new by a woman in Martinez, CA who shipped it to Europe [not sure when but probably shortly thereafter] for a grand tour, then brought it home where it stayed, always garaged. When she passed away a neighbor kid got ahold of it, took it to a local mechanic to fix and then couldn't pay the bill...at which point it went up for sale and my buddy spotted it, cut a deal to buy it in good running condition [which it wasn't, though nothing horrible - fuel system, brakes, battery, tires] and subsequently drove it home, where I just saw it. 1954 Ford Crestline; hadn't been registered since '91. Sounds solid! OHV V-8, overdrive, tinted glass and all the original trimmings. Red motor, yellow [and white] exterior; blue interior - primary colors! Anyway, he's happy as a duck, fussing around with the thing, and the second registered owner."--MSM
