I have seen this one in person at the Goodguys Southwest Nationals in Scottsdale AZ in November 2011, it's one of the total six 36 Ford 2 Door Sedans special ordered by Allegheny Ludlum Steel with all stainless steel outer panels, the car is owned by Lon Kueger and Leo Gephardt if it's not sold since then.

The original order was for ten cars but the press tools wore out after just six and these six 36 2-Door Sedans are the last made of that body style that year.

Here is a picture I took of the car at the Goodguys meet at Westworld.

Real trucks don't have ball joints.

Nope, trunions and kingpins like a Studebaker. The term Donk came about because someone thought the Impala emblem resembled a donkey. Well, at least they did not use the other three letter word that describes the same animal.

Is that what they call them? Really? Gee willikers.

What's the point? I don't get it. I kinda like my cars to actually accelerate, stop, and handle WELL...which none of these are capable of. :wacko:

I believe the term Donk is an abbreviation of Donkey... So I guess you know why they're called Donks now ;-)
