Great info Pete as I happen to have a 1969 GT350 4-speed vert that needs some stuff put back to stock.

Thanks!

Nice work on the dealers, very hard to find info on them.  I am still looking for info on Cutter Ford in Anaheim (I think).  Is there any out there?

If you cannot find info on Cutter Ford in California, try the Cutter Ford in Hawaii.  The family still owns a couple of various dealerships here, sold of the rest of the ones here and in California when the next generation took over.  The daughter now owns/runs the Cutter Ford in Aiea and may have some information on the formerly owned locations.

Re: Cutter Ford Sales, I trust you meant in North Hollywood? At 5500 Lankershim Blvd. to be precise.

It's (sadly) hard to come by, at least for me. My '66 GT 350H was shipped there on 9/26/67 after it's duty with Hertz, and I've been looking for dealership crumbs ever since I got the car in 1976! Jim Cowles finally located this license plate frame for me several years ago, and I found this original (blue copy) invoice from Cutter Ford to Shelby American at LAX on eBay awhile ago. Other than occasional images encountered during internet searches, like this ad in a 1967 Santa Barbara race program, that's been about it for me:









I also found this Shelby American Franchised Dealers list ^^^^ somewhere a long time ago, and you can see Cutter Ford listed on it. The bottom of the last page said "Revised 4/4/69". 

I would still love to find a nice period image of the dealership (in 1966!!) though, and my hope of ever locating any Cutter Ford paperwork having to do with my car is nothing but a long held pipe dream of mine, I'm sure.

Please contact me if you ever find anything, and I'll do the same for you. Good Luck!!

Thanks yes, that's the one. My '64 1/2 K code was delivered there, and of course Connie's pink Shelby was too.  Good to see some info and trinkets from it.

It looks like in 1975 the dealership became Universal Ford.

Currently Sunrise Ford is in that location

Thanks Pete, good info.

Found this, re: Cutter Ford. The photo, poor quality looks like a screen grab, must be '67, that T-bird is I think a '67.

And some other info on the dealer.

Didn't look but the dealer photo is probably on Coral Snake's site.
