Hi,
There is an old car turned upsidedown in forest behind my house and I would like to know what it is. What's written behind is *ordomatic (missing letter) maybe Tordomatic or something like that, there is no car company logo, only that, I tried to find what it could be but I found nothing about it.

Anyone know about this car?

Thanks

Hi Babelecochon

Welcome to the forum, I'm only guessing but perhaps it is a Ford product? ie Fordomatic, sounds possible??

Spot on , was reading about Fordomatic i our Fairlane's handbook. It's to do with the gearbox. I didn't take that much notice of what it said as it was talking about oily bits and I don't do oily bits (I leave that to the hubby Laughing )

Just been on Wikipedia and found all about it, still doesn't mean alot to me. Embarassed Wink Confused http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise-O-Matic

Yes, that sounds nice, It's probably an old Crestliner or Customline with their round backlights

Thanks alot
