Seeing Mark Milligan’s post on the ’57 Ford, reminded me of this showroom brochure that folds out into a large poster for the ’58 Ford. I’m not a car guy, so if you want this, Mark, let me know and I’ll mail it to ‘ya.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
These cars were like tanks. And those color combinations were so not to be beat.
Only one year off from this but still the same basic body type: https://www.alleewillis.com/awmok/kitschenette/2011/10/23/57-ford-fairlane-starliner/comment-page-1/#comment-32071

Look at all the models they had that year! And 2 convertibles, one a soft top, and the other the retractable.
The kids who’s dad owned the local Ford dealer always had pretty cool older fords to drive, and for a long time one of them had one like the black and yellow coupe at the bottom right of the brochure. It had a “police interceptor” engine, which meant a tank going very, very fast down Nebraska highways in the early 70’s!
And when you think about how many models Ford has pictured on this 1958 model brochure, it doesn’t include Mercury, Lincoln, and of course, wait for it, EDSEL!
Doug do you think that is an an airport terminal, I mean depicted to look like an actual terminal, because it looks vaguely familiar.

I can remember as a little one, the 50’s cars were so easy to ID.
Right down to the year, model and make. Even the year’s popular color changed from year to year. Look at all those two-tone interiors too.

That would be fantastic! I’d love it if you don’t have a place for it. How big is it?

Great– I’ll bring it when we meet on Tuesday!

Looking forward to seeing you and the poster, thanks!
