Could it be an English Ford like what Harry Potter drove?

I say it is definitely a 1954. I have a 2 door version of it waiting it's turn in my garage now. Also have a 1953 parts car. Grill and park lights indicate 1954 Ford. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!! Merry Christmas to all, Steve

Running the radio wasn't all that much better than leaving the headlights on.

When did advertisers ever let reality get in the way?
