Location: Upplands Väsby, Sweden | There was tough competition in conv class 1953-63.
But Forward Look cars lay on top (there was among them a fine Bonneville 58 that ended without the podium)
2x 59 Dodge conv ended up outside also got no prize this year.
Results (super nice cars)
1 Adventure 1958 conv
2 New Yorker in 1958 conv (Project bought from France in 2009?)
3 DeSoto Firesweep 1958conv
And 1 price in Custom a Chrysler 1960

Beautiful convertibles!
Must have been a super nice show.
I'm liking the custom as well.
Thank you, Windsor59!

Location: Bjorneborg, Finland | Those immaculate '58 convs are surely better than when they left factory as new! If somebody ask my opinion for that '60 Chrysler custom, so lets say it's a tasteless and horrifying sight. |

Location: Parts Unknown | I did know a 58 Adv ragtop existed in black and gold. My old one had a black top, but o/w was the same
car. Nice to see these cars. Thanks for posting.
Rosie, I can't tell if you are just such a bubbly-happy personality or not, but I suspect you'd say you like
a plastic recycling bin if someone put fins on it and posted a photo !

No worries, Jon...I long ago discovered the joys of the "ignore this poster" feature on the Control Panel.
I'm oblivious, so have fun and do yer worst, Doc!

Location: Netherlands | I wonder why most of the convertible top's were up despite the good weather? Was it mandatory for showjudging to have the tops up?
On the 5th pic from above, I can't help but noticing the transmission coolerlines looking so 'hand-bend'.
Anyone know if that's how they came like this back then? No factory preformed cooler lines?
