Location: Montreal, Canada		Visiting my parents this weekend in Eastern Québec and not far from their house stands this beautiful Mid-Century Modern Church built in 1959-60.

It was a nice setting for a couple of pics with my 1958 Dodge Regent.

Location: Montreal, Canada		Neil, you're right. I checked the info about this church and the parish was founded in 1959, but the church was built 1963-64.

The interior is amazing:

Robert (catman), it is the church of Saint-Pie X in Rimouski.

Ian is right. There were no major differences as far as looks. The only ones I can think of are the hubcaps (the ones you see on my car are the Canadian only 1958 Plymouth units); the trunk handle was standard in Canada; the colour choices (interior and exterior) were a bit different, with some different cloth material for the upholstery.

Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada		David, I was under the impression that your car would have come with the standard 58 Dodge wheel covers originally, did you change them for your own preference? (I do think these ones are better looking than the regular Dodge covers)

Yes I did change them just because I much prefer the looks of the CDN 58 Plymouth caps that are on it now.

Plus, I like the fact that they are very rarely seen today, as even the Plymouth owners in Canada change them out for the US ones very often, probably thinking that the CDN ones are not original..

I do keep a very nice set of OEM Dodge wheel covers in the garage in case I want to go back to them.
