1957 FORD CUSTOM
To be helpful to inquiries, I decided to compile the additional information to hopefully answer more of the general questions. I am interested in selling so I am looking forward to offers.
The Vehicle Description is all correct based on what I know of the 1957 Ford Custom, It starts good, runs good and brakes good; and as you can see from the pictures, it could use a paint job, unless you which to keep it looking almost like a barn find. It was stored for many years until the collector passed on.
The reason I decided to sell it, is that I do have 7 cars: 3 family cars and 4 oldies. Our plans of building the big garage are not materializing, so my drive way is crowded. Age is creeping up on me with some physical health issues.
