I thought maybe he printed the pictures backwards but that doesn't happen with digital cameras. Just kidding of course. Australia has lots of hot rodders. What the heck is the blue thing with the scoop on top and what looks like a flip rear half on it?

Your 55 looks great and shows very well. You should be proud. Thanks for the pictures.

Pat, Australia is a free country. Sometimes they let the passenger drive. They shouldn't allow that. Next thing you know they'll be driving on the opposite side of the street. Nice cars though.

Our road authorities 8 years ago changed the rules and allowed any left hand drive cars that are 30 years or older to be registed without converting them to right hand drive , so any cars shipped to australia prior to this rule change had to by law convert them to right hand drive also some people still convert them to right hand drive now even though they don't have to because they feel more comfortable driving on the right but no way we are going to do that, the 55 and my 68 m@&t@ng will be staying left hookers ,as far as sharon(wife) and i are concerned its just not american to have them right hand drive
cheers chris

Cool pics, That Holden reminds me of a '72 Poncho Leee-mans.

I'm puzzled...
Did your wheel cover fall off or do you always carry a wheel cover around with you?
Or is that not you and just some dude ripping off your wheel cover?
