Now we are moving to electric vehicles in which weight is a factor wouldn't it be great if manufacturers using plastic panels used a bit more imagination. No stamping and panel beating required to obtain those curves and seeing cars like that everyday would certainly make commuting less dull.

Damn ! I coulda sworn it was a Peugeot 203, with suicide doors and all, but it does have that rear quarterglass...and they don't.
1957 Ford Fairlane 500
Without looking it up, I would guess that this ^ is a 1960 Chrysler Imperial.
Opps! Look at it in full size, it does say Fairlane 500 just under the fin!
Whatever it is, it is written on the side.Quote:

Saw this in Nova Scotia a couple of years ago.
its a 1959 pontiac star chief.
the spare wheel mounting is i suspect a custom job, i dont think pontiac made them like that, although given the extravagant excess of late 50's american car design one can never be sure.
You could buy a continental kit but it don't look like that .Quote:

i cant speak for nev, but i was brought up on these little books; cars, planes, trees, animals.
i used to get them for birthdays and xmas, i think my dad enjoyed them as much as i did.
^ Did you grow up in Australia?
Just that the book shelf looks as it's Silky Oak timber
