Description 1957 Ford 2-door in the ghost town of Cottonwood near Havre Montana USA.


Here are more shots from Cottonwood from various times I have been there over the years.

I don't. I live in Havre and Cottonwood is just a short drive, but I don't really know the farmers out there since I don't work for the local paper anymore

Judging by the shape of (former) color divider it's a poor Ford Custom series, the cheapest one. Probably no one liked it from beginning and no one likes him now I'm generally anti-Ford but this year had the biggest fins Ford managed to grow on themselves, so it can be forgiven being a Ford...and how unbelievable shape the A-pillars have when not balanced by windshield.

It's actually in good shape rust wise, just stripped out... I have thought of grabbing this body and using it on a rusted out one up here!

As far as it goes, I like everything, but I love the 57 Ford and Meteor cars!

I could never be in the restoration business probably, I'd run and try to save everything. And I agree it looks good, with no plants as passengers

'57 Ford had 2 things I can't deny being pretty - the Fairlane 500's 3D pattern on doorpanels and the C-pillar filler that opened with doors on 4 door hardtops.

I liked that filler panel too!

I'm one of those guys who tries to save everything he can, often way more then I can deal with, I am constantly giving cars away... the big thing to me is saving them from the crusher!

Aww, then you can sleep peacefully at night, knowing you preserved some of them. And hope those who were given the cars won't crush or hot-rod them :-/

I'm okay with Hot Rods, I do restorations and Hot Rods, it's better then wasting them....

I can eventually understand the vintage rods, those originating from 1920's cars being dirt cheap rides for teenagers who couldn't afford brand new Forward Looker or other Fairlane.But intended hotrodding a car that can be original is a major crime for me
