I know this is the wrong spot for this, but did you see someone is selling repop Tasca Ford advertisements?

I've been hoping to see vintage 60's pictures or memorabilia for Pueblo Ford (6420 E 22nd St Tucson AZ). Anyone have some stuffed away in your archives?

Probably 6S240 and the original "registered owner" Margaret.
Good Lord, Tony! You have quite the picture collection. Much jealousy. ;D

I wouldn't be nervous at all about the cars on the hill. I'm sure they have a brick or fire extinguisher blocking the wheels....

If known, it is nice to state the dealership location. Thanks. 8)
Couldn't find a good outside shot. Foulger was Ford's VP for high performance and then got a dealership in Monrovia CA - building now gone.
Russ Davis Ford was my hang out - even though I worked at the Chevy dealer across the street. I crewed on a Fuel Altered and the driver was a mechanic at Ford. Started in the early 1900s with Model Ts and tractors lasted until the late 70s. Buildings still there Ernie the Attorney has a couple great youtube videos on it. Gas Ronda was lured from Downtown Motors to drive for Russ Davis - he was also a car salesman there.

Not a dealer but Les Ritchie's Performance Associates in Covina built SAs drag cars. The non descript commercial building is still there - it was near Balllenger Headers and Covico steering wheels. Les was killed in 1966. His son reopened Performance Associates in nearby San Dimas but has since closed it due to health problems.

Anyone have any pics of Sexton Ford, Moline, Illinois? They sold a lot of Shelbys back in the day.
Pretty sure I used to be their Ford Parts Zone Manager in the early 1980's.
Nice guys and sorry I didn't take any pics of the dealers I used to call on.
]The same photo is on page one ::)

Makes you wonder if Uncle Sam took those boys off to Vietnam and if so, did they make it back home?

In my high school we had an enrollment of nearly 1000 students (Soph, Jr's,and Senior's) in my class of 1969 we had 2 that came back in coffins and another blinded. Some earlier classes didn't fare so well.

Anyone got any pics or info. on City Motors, National City, CA? For a dealership so close to SAI, I can find very little on them.
National City is about 135 miles form LAX. City Ford wasn't the "go to" dealer in the San Diego area. Locals went to Jack @ Drew Ford in La Mesa. They stocked Hi Perf parts.
Randy-Do you know what the City Motors dealership "morphed" into...or did it go out of business?
I have two of my best guys on that subject right now. Digging up stuff like this is (at times) a slow process. Hang in there and I will have answers. I lost my main go to guy a few years back , so it takes a bit longer.

There have been photos on the forum of GT40s at dealerships, does any have a photo of a Ford Mk. IV from 1967 in a dealers showroom in period, meaning 1967 or 1968. I thought ? that the winning Le Mans car or one of the others where on a promotional tour of dealers after the race.
thanks, Mike
Young Ford, Ford dealership located at the corner of Stonewall and Independence Blvd. Charlotte, NC
Circa 1966
Shelby dealership, also prepped GT-350H's for service at the local Hertz rental agency.
Anyone else have history of their Shelby purchased or prepped through Young Ford?

Yes, I have seen them, but I need to find them again
It was the red, number 1 car. They were about three photos, in color and you could read a sign they had next to the car. It was roped off. Seems to me it was a Texas dealership?
6S1568,
My records on the 1965 GT350 indicate six cars delivered to Young Motor Co. in 1965:
5S223, 5S225, 5S246, 5S440, 5S473 and 5S498
My records on the Hertz cars indicate 10 cars were delivered to Charlotte, NC:
6S656, 6S676, 6S970, 6S979, 6S980, 6S1419, 6S1420, 6S1422, 6S1482 and 6S1910
I have not completed all 1966 deliveries as of yet still working on it.
My records on the 1967 indicates one car delivered to Young Motor Co. in 1967:
67200F1A0095
I do not have any records beyond 1967.
Dennis
I think the dealership changed ownership....maybe check the addresses
Dennis, My shipping notice, sent from Carol Stevers at S.A. to Walt Bergfield, I assume Hertz Corp. shows 6S1482, and my car 6S1568 shipped to Charlotte on the same day, March 31, 1966.
Any photos from dealers in Denver?
Don, not a dealer photo, but an ad for Ski Country Specials for dealers in the Denver area, I think this was up on forum 1 ?
Mike
Any ideas on where this might be ? Downtown plate surround the only clue ?

P/1054 on tour at Marshall Ford (Marshall Motors) near Cleveland Oh 1968
JD, thanks for posting, are you sure that's 1054 ? not maybe 1055 ? here's a photo I have in my files marked as 1055 at Hamon Ford, Texas City.

Mike, Yes - P/1054 according to the Guy that hauled it to some of the dealerships on the tour (including Marshall), Fran Kress, a past owner, and the SAAC GT40 Registrar. There is an article in the Winter 2017 of
The Shelby American titled "...like a box of Chocolates..." that is relevant to this car. Was P/1055 also part of one of the tours ?
Confusing - this photo is in the Registry as P/1055...
(http://www.saacforum.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1125.0;attach=34507;image)
JD & SFM66H , thanks for you replies, that is where the confusion lies, I have the 4th edition of the registry, the information there
and the photo seems to be the same car, but with different numbers ( as described in registry) then the one posted by JD. Here's
another photo I have in my files. In the Spain GT40 book (my copy, '92 edition) the descriptions of 1054 & 1055 are completely
different from the SAAC book, there are sixteen years between the two.
Mike
Thanks, I hadn't see any images of P/1055

Cool old pix. But, there wasn't too much exciting going on at a Ford dealer in 1960. I like the one-year-only Galaxie styling, but I'd rather wait for the '61 T-Bird.
Ah, come on, 1960 was a good year; we had a '60 wagon when I was young, I would like to find a '60 Starliner, and I currently own a Thunderbird "J"-code,.......... the "Bulldozer" for 1960! 8)
Scott.
I wouldn't mind having that wagon on the left...
My dad swapped the automatic for a 4-speed on our '60 wagon (green & white), but never finished the project (sold it first) as the bench seat no longer fit, so he "installed" a concrete block for seating; but I was to light, so when I attempted to push the clutch pedal in, the block and my arse just slid backwards! ::)

Any pictures from Ford dealer from Hazelton, Pa back in the day?

Thanks - I have to find where I saved it to post. A photo of Gas and his car on the showroom floor. He was also a salesman at Russ Davis. Within the past year the dealership has been leveled and condos erected. The blocks of homes have names such as Shelby Lane, Falcon Place, Henry Drive and Galaxie Way. So at least there is still a Ford connection. https://www.cityventures.com/community/atwood/
