LBC Sighting-Hardin County Edition No. 1

Once again, things you don’t necessarily expect to see while cruising US highways: a 1959 (or thereabouts) Ford Prefect saloon, located Light Hit Rebuilders, 3635 Hwy 64 on the west side of Crump, TN.

English Ford (officially Ford UK) built the Prefect over several series from 1938 to 1941 and 1945 to 1953. This last edition, the 100E, was in production from 1953 to 1959 and featured an 1172cc engine and three-on-the-floor. Ford produced a 107E variant w/ 997cc engine from 1959 to 1961. Due to the absence of side trim, I do believe this one’s a 100E.
