Where were you when this fantastic exibition of speed took place. You were not on A 1A and you could have been on the Federal Hwy US 1. I-75 was not built in those days so I know you were not there. You would never try this today because that place is just reeking with Cops.
I did not think a 1955 Ford Fairlane 500 could go this fast. Are you sure your not getting confused with another model in the 1960's. Remember the Shelby Ford Corbra that looked like a Triumph? Not that was a fast machine.
