>I believe the correct answer is that Ford took several years to make the
change. Some models were still 6v +gnd in 56, while others were 12v -gnd
for 55. I think some Ford trucks were still 6v as late as 57 or 58.

Just to add to the confusion, there was a Desoto (I think) at the show that
had dealer istalled air conditioning. Part of the conversion was upgrading
the starter to a 12 volt model. The car had two 6 volt batteries.
No wonder they decided to standardize.
