Help Needed
3/31/12
Hello to you and all the members of your club. It's great to see a group of people who want to see fords powered by fords like Henry intended . My family runs the oldest ford dealership in Nebraska in a little town called Ceresco. Just outside Lincoln . It's also the 5th oldest in the world . Cool thing is all we have ever sold is new fords. We have never been a multi-brand dealership . It's called Swanson Ford and my great grandfather started it in 1909. My uncle Doug Swanson runs the dealership now. My name is Wayne Swanson and the purpose of my letter is to see if a car my father built in the early 60's could be found?
My dad has built early ford cars , trucks and customs since the early 50's. You could say he bleeds ford blue. He runs Swanson Auto Co. In Ceresco Nebraska . If anyone needs a project car he has several for sale . Most recent a 1964 Galaxie 390 4 speed car. His name is Darrell Swanson.
Back to my main purpose. To find a car my dad built . A black custom Thunderbird Ranchero. The car is supposed to be somewhere in Texas maybe Fort Worth? I would like to find it ? Why? I would like to buy it or keep track of it. The car was built when I was between the ages of 2 and 4 . When I started learning about cars mainly early fords. Genetics and heritage are hard habits to break. My dad is getting older and I think it would be cool to own the custom he built when I was little. Please help. Looking to preserve history.
