He's out crusing in his non existent 1954 Ford Fairlane 500, listening to XM radio and "Considering his audience" while trying to remember the last time he made a mistake.

1954 Fords - Custom, Crestline and Mainline.
Fairlane - Not introduced until 1955
500 - Not introduced until 1957

I read when Ford was building the Thunderbolt they kept the fiberglass components from going on the wrong car by writing "Race Car" in chalk on the inside of respective parts.

Although unconfirmed when I bought the car over 30 years ago the owner told me it was a pace car in the Indy 500 it wasn’t the reason I got her she was special the battery built in the trunk of the car confirms what he was saying but never pressed the issue. I just want to cruise the coast

I saw this and was wondering what the hell you were talking about. I had to do a search and found the reference to a 1954 Ford. I missed that. It was indeed a '55 Fairlane that my father had when he met my mother. I had been looking into '57 Fairlanes, as well as the '57 Chevy Bel Airs, because I was born in 1957. I had the 500 on my mind because that is what I had been seeing in my searches. My mistake. I would like the orange and white color scheme for the Fairlane just like Dad's, but have pretty much narrowed it down to the Bel Air, instead because the wife likes it better.
