[FWDLK] Alas! Forty one years too late......



I was researching the local newspaper files in our library (my other
passion: local history!!) and happened to notice in August 1962 a dealer
in Hull, IL had a 1957 Fury listed on their lot for $745..... oh, to be
able to go back!!

By the way, I am working on my new book (a pictorial history of Hannibal
Missouri in the postwar years as seen in the work of the newspaper
photographer at the time).  I pored over thousands and thousands of
negatives from 1947-67 to compile this book.  There are a number of
Forwardlook vehicles that will appear in the pages (coincidentally, of
course!!)  If anyone is interested, I can let them know when it is
released.  Should be around early July.

In my last pictorial history (also of Hannibal), had a photo of a brand
new '56 Belvedere that a family from Ohio drove into the icy Mississippi
River.  A sorry picture!!  Family was rescued and survived, but car was
a loss, I am told.  The photo shows the car being fished, tail first,
out of the river.  I can send the image to anyone wishing to see it.
