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.

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?

The top`s and windows have to be up for the judging they want to se how good the fitting is and upspent the top are ,, Good or lousy job on the top and windows area,, and fittind on those arn`t the best from start,, regarding cooler lines they are the orginales ,,cleaned fixed and reused(orginal),,
