I never give it too much thought...if I want something new I just get it. The 56 F100 doesn't take up much room and there will come a day that the new crown vic doesn't have the same draw as it has now and you will regret getting rid of the 56 F100.

Having gotten rid of a 428 mustang GT, a Porsche 911S, and a 69 Bronco, all of which would be worth big money today....All I can tell you is, hindsight is always 20-20.

Jafo, it might help if you show us pictures of your other '56... and your other trucks. Knowing how many vehicles you have, is it a matter of garage space?

Ok there my other 3 ....my other 56 my 51 and my 49 f-4..... The f-4 gets restored this year it's a one owner with 22,500 miles on it... Which I think could be correct.
Just lately I have had a hankering for a 1956 crown Victoria! And unless that fat jolly ******* Santa brings me one I guess I will keep kicking it around!

That F4 is sweet. So are the others. Wish mine looked that good. If it were me (I wish) I would finish the F4 and then worry about getting the CV. I tend to get bogged down if I have too many projects going at one time.

There is no sense in breaking up your awesome collection, keep the 56. You have a hankering for that sweet little Vicki ?, just go get her. I love that other 56, and the f-4, and the 51.
