Hey Steve,

I hope you dont start a F O R D collection !!!!!

I know this will start a shit fight but I have allways wondered why the FB EK body shapes were so late in coming off the production line ??

You know the 57 chev and the Customline that started in 55 are very similar with the cusso being the closest to the FB EK in body shape (my opinion). Maybe the Holdens gurus thought that everyone on this side of world wouldn't notice although plenty of cussos made it here.
I'm pretty sure the Customline with its 272 Y block was the first car in this country that would do 100mph from the factory so to speak. Good old days that's for sure.

Regards Greg

i'm with you i've thought exactly the same for a long time, even been eyeing the chrome molds

i'm assuming by the paperwork for the cusso it was a police car

I do like that foard ... if it wasn't $50,000 I may be tempted.

The Chev Impala I could easily own one of those.
