My father ran this car late 60’s early 70’s. Around the same time frame as Phil Fylnn. I’m not sure on the color and I’ve been dying to track down a photo of his car for years. Anyone remember it at all?
Ok …..distinguishing features ,lettering, wheels ?…Dover CSI…find the photo! V-Bob: hit the attic …I’l scan the ODF Gallery. …Oh -Welcome to the Forum !….Fill us in some more !
Thanks Dino. The Metal Dover Sign I got is great. Thanks so much. I got #007. I’ve been coming to the Dover Reunion since the last year you guys did the Burnout’s on the side of the building. I’m 25 and run a 03 Mustang right now. 11.90 car. But itching to get back to my roots and something old. I’ll get more info on the 57. Thanks again guys.
Hey Stick…Great idea on that 63 Galaxie…one of my favorite all time cars
in the spring of 63,three local boys took delivery of their ordered 63 fastback 427’s from Rittman Ford in New Milford CT.
all the same spec’s in Black,Red,and Mint Green(great color)
the Red one later added aluminum parts right from Ford
sorry can’t help you on the 57…do that 63…good luck
WELCOME to ODF 😀
Alright. It was a Green 2 door 57 Wagon. It said Animosity on the side with either gold or white maybe yellow writing on the side. He’s not sure on the color it was so long ago. It was from Bridgeport, CT. Later on in early 70’s maybe towards the end of dovers time my uncle took the car and called it “Steve’s Stocker” or close to that. Yeah I need to put the Mustang up for sale and look into a Galaxie or maybe back to a Catalina or Tempest. Thanks guys.
Thanks Bob. “Stick” has been a nickname for since I was kid. My real name is Tom. But Stick will do just fine. 🙂 Yeah I’m not going anywhere. Though I was born years after Dover even closed I feel like I was there. I was just born in the wrong era. Since the day I saw Bob Krotsky’s (Wrong Spelling) “Break Away” I was hooked on Dover’s History. It’s great to read the storys and look at the old pictures you guys posted up. 🙂 Glad to be here.
Stickman…You better not have a slushbox with that handle, Krosky’s on the forum and another of our Nostalgia Drags, team members….WE do Have a Class for “New Cars” …See the Nostalgia Drags Rules ! We’ll take ya back in our Time Machine that day !
My father is heading over to my grandmothers place tomorrow. I told him to raid the albums and all photos looking for a pic of his car and any other Dover pics. I hope they find something. I’m heading out on Vacation and will catch up with you guys in a few weeks when I’m back. Keep the pics coming.
