(Words and Photos by Scott Liggett) On the one year anniversary of Covid shutting down everything to “flatten the curve” we hit up the Omaha Autorama to get back into the reopening of car show season here in Nebraska. If you remember, we were at this show last year when everything was going crazy with the Covid virus running rampant. The governor of Nebraska called to have this show shut down the day we were there. It was a surreal experience last year and we were not able to go to another car show until October.

It’s a year later, Covid is getting under control. People are itching to get out and live again. The people who love classic and custom cars are no different. This year’s turn out was definitely proof of that. So, we donned our masks, grabbed our camera and headed down to CHI Heath Center in downtown Omaha, Nebraska to check out a bunch of beautiful automobiles.

This particular auto show has a lot of meaning to your author as this was the World of Wheels Omaha Autorama was the first custom car show I ever went to way back as a budding gearhead in the 1970’s. And, I continued to go to this show until the late 1980’s when my family moved to California. The Omaha Autorama officially kicks off the car show season in Nebraska, and we are hoping to go to a lot more this year. And, we will share those experiences with you here.

2020 FE Race And Reunion Gallery: From Run Of The Mill To Overkill


2020 FE Race And Reunion Gallery: From Run Of The Mill To Overkill

(Photos: Joe Grippo) At the small end, they were a 330-cubic inch truck motor. At the far end, you have some of Ford’s finest hours, the 427, the Cammer and the 428. You could’ve had one in the lowest-rent Edsel you could find or you could’ve ponied up the dough at the counter of your nearest dealership by ordering C6AE-6007-359J for $2,350. Whether you had a work truck that was plugging along with the old reliable 390 or you had an R-code Fairlane or Shelby’s wicked-tune Cobra. the Ford FE mill was one for the history books. Originally designed for Ford and Edsel applications, the modified Y-block design was the engine that Ford went to war with. They fought Chrysler for NASCAR superiority. They fought anybody who dared try on dragstrips. They went sports car racing with the Cobra, and when Hank the Deuce saw red mist, it was the weapon he used against the Italians at their own game.

The last FE was put into a production vehicle in 1976. After that, it was big-block Limas and small-blocks until 1998, when the Mod Motor and the Triton V10 took over.  Our man Joe Grippo was swimming in a sea of like-mided folk as he roamed Beaver Springs Dragway for the 2020 FE Race and Reunion, and he brought back plenty of photos to share of his trip.
