Car of the Week: 1955 Ford Crown Victoria
Sometimes in the collector car world, a great car somehow seems to wind up with just the right owner.
Call it automobile karma, fate, or just happenstance, but sometimes a car guy who deserves a great car winds up with a wonderful machine that somehow he seemed destined for.
Jim Young of Green Bay, Wis., falls into that category. The spry, gregarious 80-year-old has loved 1955 Fords since, well, 1955. The first new car he ever bought came at age 18 when he scraped up enough money from working three jobs to trade in his 1951 Ford and drive home with a new 1955 Fairlane.
Fifty years later, in 2015, Young loved 1955 Fords as much as ever. His car friends in his Nifty Fifty Classic Car Club knew it, and they helped hook him up with a spectacular unrestored 1955 Crown Victoria.

| | Brick car donated to Gilmore Museum
Artist Paula Blinco Collins, best known for her more than 200 bas-relief brick sculptures on display throughout the country, has donated her recent 2016 ArtPrize competition entry, "Mom's Favorite Car," to the Gilmore Car Museum.
"It's a 1940 Pontiac that will never rust", explained Collins.
That's because her entry is a life-sized recreation made entirely out of brick - 12,000 lbs. of brick - which is nearly four times the weight of an actual 1940 Pontiac.
