I own a White 56 Thunderbird that once belonged to Buck Owens. I have the Orginal California Auto Registration Aug/16/83 Registerd to Buck Owens Enterprises, Bakersfield CA. Plate BUCBIRD. Would anyone know if it is possible to Obtain California Replacement Plates with BUCBIRD on them?

Anybody know about the extra steel welded on the x bracing bottom side? 1956

In mid 1956, Ford installed a 1/2 inch thick by 2 inch wide slab on the frame. It was installed under the frame and also on the X that joins the two sides. The purpose was to minimize frame flexing due to the continental tire. It also helped to redistribute the added weight behind the rear axle due to the continental tire.
