1956 2-Door Ford Fairlane

Pete Burhans form Barkhamsted, CT has owned this 1956 2-door Ford Fairlane since 1998. A
street rod buff, Pete restored the interior and rebuilt the motor. This grand red and white
vintage auto has a 292 V8, 3-speed and Tri-Power. Pete enjoys cruisin' as well as driving his rod daily in the good weather. “Marks”, in Granby Connecticut, is one of his favorite Monday Cruise Night shows.

1967 Ford Ranchero

Ludlow Mass. resident, Mark Enos, thoroughly his rare find, a 1967 Ford Ranchero. It has
been re-painted turquoise, is a stock 350 automatic with 9” Ford rear-end, Flo-Master exhaust and Tora Thrust Wheels. The interior is light blue leather. Mark bought his Street Rod from the
Wilbraham Fire Department and uses it for Cruise Nights and Car Shows.

1954 Ford Crestline Victoria

This stately vintage auto is golden, a hands-down winner with its’ buffed Haivanian
Bronze & Cream paint. Newly off the restoration circuit this 1954 Ford Crestline Victoria is “mildly customized” per owners Charlie and Sally Hollister from Longmeadow, Massachusetts. “Mild” is hardly a word that would describe the detail of both the interior and exterior. It is a “239”, with vintage speed equipment that is the frosting-on-the-cake for most restored car lovers.
