Here's a previously shown shot of my '56. It wasn't a really "cool" car as it had four doors. the two-door sedans were more popular. The Ford 272 V8 didn't compare well to the Chevrolet 283 cubic inch V8 performance-wise. One a friend of mine's cousin for Oregon came to visit driving his '55 Chevy. He and my friend, who had a '56 Ford two-door raced (drag race) several times and the Chevy always one. He wanted me to drag, too and I agreed although I knew I didn't have a chance. At the start the Chevy's driver gave it too much gas and spun his wheels. By the time he got traction it was too late and I beat him by half a car length. It drove the poor Chevy owner crazy because I refused to race him again. We both knew he would win. P.S. Ignore the geeky-looking guy sitting on the fender holding a can of beer. There's a guy in the picture? I was looking at the girl.
