Not a big ford fan, but those are nice cars. I have a friend that also has a 65 that he shows.

Very nice car! But what are you proud of? The fact that your father bought it, or that the previous owner took such good care of it?

How is the car in a show with all that dirt in the wheel-wells? And what the hell is it doing in snow?
