Values are on the upswing too, and a collector friend of my dad in Cali just bought a super clean example (also white). That 55 T-bird is also a great spot, who leaves a 55 T-bird outside like that? Great color combo too....I have a 1:18 scale model of that exact car, right down to the color and hardtop.What is that on the front bumper ? So it can be towed? Or to mount a snow plow shovel?Looks like it's got a cover on it to protect whatever it is from the elements, so I'd bet it's some sort of winch. Doesn't look right for a plow mount or a tow bar - but it could be.

Not too far from my house. I don't think it's slippery out, no idea what happened
It was garbage day today. The usual suspects were around.Railton

^^ I suppose the original motor did not have headers and were routed elsewhere away from those brake items.Railton

They came from the factory with cast iron exhaust manifolds that went downward just ahead of the firewall.

I didn't sick around to ask WTF.Railton
