Hey from Australia

Hey guys from Australia, finally received my 57 super 88 4 door hardtop all the way from California.

Waited almost 6months for her to come due to some flu pandemic🤭 and problems and delays with shipping companies.

Beautiful cars these things are ,so unique in looks from the others, love those 3 back windows.

my father has owned 2 wagons, he brought over a 57 fiesta wagon and bought another black 57 here in Australia, also brought over a rocket 57 4 door and currently has 57 super 88 2 door coupe with a j2 ,the cars we bring over are not show cars , they need work, some alot of work, but we love American cars so much we don't care what condition they are in.

anyway here is mine ,in the process of cutting her at the moment, and giving here a really good scrub.🤙

OHHH YEAHHH! I love the 4 door hardtops.

Welcome, BTW! Since you and your dad get your cars from the US I figure none of them are right hand drive. Show us pics of your other projects too!

Very nice. I love the three rear window style with the curved opera windows (I'm not sure that's what they're called), they really add a nice appeal to the car.

nope no right hand drives, I personally think it's a sin to convert them, love the left hookers ,we are able to drive them here left hand if they are more than 30 years old.
So starting from right is
70 challenger 383 se (original plum crazy purple)
32 b model Ford ( was sitting in a barn in Montana for 50 years)
47 Cadillac sedanette ( has a 500ci out of a 70 elderado)
35 3 window ford coupe (full metal body NO RUST)
the two out of picture are a 60 belair 4 door, and a Cadillac Seville 78 or 79 I think.

The rocket(sold a while ago)


the only photos I could find of the black fiesta
