I was going to use these myself but the chrome was too bad to run as is. They have a factory chrome coating and factory black paint. From what I have gathered so far this may have been a first half of 1958. I don't believe it was any thing special as this was an undisturbed 2 barrel 332 from a Ranch Wagon. My early 58 Thunderbird 352's stamped parts are the same way. Picture shows two smooth dings. These have surface rust where the chrome cam off, NO RUST HOLES. They are partially soda blasted and when finished could be smoothed out with sandable primer. The reinforcement lip on rail is unique to 58 and 59. The center spark plug separators I believe unique to early Ford. I believe all Edsel 361 and 427 valve covers were up front. These will clear OEM adjustable rockers.

'Rat run' short cuts make journeys slower
Tue, 03 Jun 2014DRIVERS taking "rat-run" short cuts could actually be making their journeys slower, according to a survey. Congestion at the busiest times on local roads is twice as bad as on main highways, the poll from traffic information company TomTom found. It also revealed that traffic congestion in cities across the UK has got significantly worse over the past year.
Jaguar tops J. D. Power Survey again in 2013
Fri, 24 May 2013Even though the Jaguar XF actually slipped from 2nd to 3rd in the top cars section (although it was the ‘Best Executive Car’), behind the Skoda Superb and Skoda Yeti, it received five star ratings for performance, service and running costs and owners rated it as ‘Excellent’ across all categories. And it was more good news for Jaguar Land Rover as Land Rover was rated the most improved brand in 2013, jumping in to the top ten (in 6th place) for the first time, with Freelander owners noting an improved dealer experience and Discovery owners reporting 30 per cent fewer faults – and actually leading the SUV sector for reliability. That’ll help the still lingering perception that JLR’s cars can be ‘fragile’.
Marcello Gandini laments today's 'fake' concepts
Tue, 12 Nov 2013Marcello Gandini has branded current concept cars fakes and "little more than maquettes" in an interview about Bertone's extensive concept car history. The enigmatic designer, whose work with the design house stretches back to the late ‘60s, expressed his dislike of today's "fiberglass cars" and claims they can't hold a candle to the well-built concepts of old. He praises Nuccio Bertone's vision and his insistence on producing fully working, "almost driveable" concepts throughout the coachbuilder's existence.
