    Hi from Australia

     



    Just an easy question for you guys. Can someone tell me what car this is? Looks like a bit like a Fury to me.

    Cheers

    Mike

    A '59, I'm sure, but the grill pattern looks just a little different than I recall.

    Those were the cool car in the day for the hard top retactable into the trunk. I wonder how much trunk space was left with the roof down?
    Here is a shot of the roof being retracted

    Well I guess this answers my own question. It would seem they put a hard inner box for trunk items that didn't want to get squished!

    57 retracts were so much sweeter. But that 58 is definitely nice.

    Car in the first picture is an Aussie car, different trim lines than US made Blue Ovals, usually better looking.
