No, they were in cars also. They had them from 55-57. My 57 Ford car I had, had one with a Fordomatic. It was stock.

I guess it depends where that tree is located. Up here that is a sure recipe for a cracked block. Around here they are stuffed upside down in sheds, barns, car trunks, etc.
Ive also heard rumors that some stripped down 58 F100's had the 272. In 57 they were the stock V8 in the 300 series cars.
