I was working as a grease monkey in a Ford dealership when those came out. They were the last model that was a two seat sports car even though Ford didn't promote them as sports cars. They were a fitting answer to the Corvette until Ford decided to go another way in 1958.
They were a bear to work on though, you had to unbolt the motor mounts and jack up the engine just to change the spark plugs; and in those days you had to change the spark plugs every 10,000 or so miles.
