Ford?

Aye, a Crown Victoria. Last great American sedan and bastion of taxi and police fleets across the land. Did you get the Kaiser Henry J in the background....?

I took the two foreigners to be Fiats as Norfolk indicates and that is definitely an America - the later models of whi...

Yeah, those floors....! Good to see work progressing and what a solid base to go from.

Nice shots which belie the bloody coldness that is blighting me at present....That GTE is a perfect slice of Seventies goodness with the original rims and Golde roof, love it!

Aye but you will have added time, labour of love and skills into what has already been built. That sum total is more worthy than something stamped-out nowadays no matter how much "heritage" is in it. Am I alone in presuming that even manufactured articles retain a "spirit" of tho...

I am also sensitive to those cars who have lost their original registrations and/or being imported after the change to age-related (but plainly never issued) o...

Me? I'd prefer this smol boxy luxury saloon: Moretti DAF 55.
