Tom Dudley recently replicated the original So. Calif. Plating Co. delivery truck, a famous vehicle based upon a new 1935 Ford phaeton and completed in 1936. Tom’s truck is based upon a 1936 Ford sedan since the original received a ’36 Ford front clip that was heavily modified.

ur featured 1968 Fairlane 500, powered by a 428 Cobra Jet, has the “Day 2” look. It is a one-owner car. Glenn Wells, of Longview, Texas, went to the local Pegues-Hurst Ford dealership and checked off several options on the dealer order form which included special-order Oxford Gray paint and the 427 Cobra V-8. That engine was discontinued, thus its replacement was the new 428 CJ. Glenn ordered the car strictly for drag racing. It is one of only 22 Fairlane 500s built with this engine/transmission combination, and of this group, was the only one originally painted in this color.
