Some thoughts. IMHO your winnie should be put in a vise till the notion of re-painting goes away. My 1953 Mercury was a spitting image of your Ford. Instead of seafoam green, mine was coral, which is another name for sickly pink. You should try picking up girls in a pink Mercury. I am FAR from an expert on cars but I am scratching my head on this one. Ford did not come out with an overhead valve engine till 1954. 1953 was the last year of Ford's famous flathead engines. Any car experts out there that can straighten this out for a less than knowledgeable car guy?
