Some great pictures and info there Sam. Well Done :smile2:
Those other couple of pics of the FE certainly add to the earliness of the car.
Thanks for posting them on the FE/FC forum.
Great Find.

I have some pictures somewhere of a 62 Galaxie in some sort of press release in mid 1961 and it had similar Michigan plates which started with IOM something. I think these are some sort of trade plate or something. It is intriguing to think of an FB in Detroit. The Amercans probably looked at it like we'd look at an Opel or an FA Victor!

They might have been evaluating it to sell in other markets?

Its has an auto transmission in it. Cant you tell :)

Just joking. Speaking of radiator hoses, Rares are in the process of re producing top hoses to suit to suit EK factory auto cars.
