Nice tribute there. Our Memorial Day will be coming up on May 31st this year. Always the last Monday in May.

This one is better, out of the camera rather than the first that is taken and edited on the phone.

That pic could be south Louisiana. My uncle had a fishing camp that looked like those little houses.

Nice. Some years ago i helped a mate put an ex 58 cop car back together with a 428 4 spd.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Interesting.  But isnt that 1958 Fairlane a modern car, Mustang maybe, with front and rear clips added?   The windshield isnt close, nor is the roof, and it is really low?

Carjam says Country of Origin is South Africa, first Registered in Australia in 1958, first registered in New Zealand in 2007. The roof line is definitely not stock. The VIN starts 7A8 which comes back as a 2005 rebuild VIN number.

Edit - Mike has obviously made a name for himself for being careful transporting this type of precious cargo as he posts this type of photo fairly regularly. Other times it is as simple as a flat pack garage.
