History: Sold new in Woonsocket, I to an M.D., ar was traded and bought by DaveSkalubinski. Given to his sister Susan Skalubinski who sold it to me. Quite a story behind it. All my collector cars-which I am selling off now b/c I can't drive them anymore after a bad accident transporting them to an event-falling off a car carrier, ave interesting true stories behind them-which is one reason why I purchased them. . The number of this car, 5FH236502, eflects the total # of Fords supposedly produced to that planned date in 1955-which never happened during any production year for many reasons. Serious historians get ahold of me and I will tell u why. One case will shock u out of ur mind as told to me by a guy from Ford's Mahwah plant in those days, 956-1960. Have all papers on car.

Shipping and payment: Car will be shipped, OB Exeter, I, y a carrier of your choice, fter ur bank check clears. No clearance-no shipment. FOB means u pay freight after negotiating with carrier u select. Plenty of room here for loading.
