Location: Lower Mainland BC | Ah yes, the 59 Plainsman, where tiny hobbitses from the Shire and their C**ker spaniel, Daisy, meet the gigundous Chrysler for a road trip to Mordor.

It looks like you've changed the 'Chrysler' emblem on the hood; is this a personal preference or factory?
Looks good!

Location: Parts Unknown | Were 50's era Australians typically under a meter tall and weight
60kg ??? Or were the cars originally 10meters long and have now
shrunk with age ? |

Location: Echuca | Great to see this car being done, I remember seeing it years ago For Sale at Chrysler's on the Murray and was annoyed as I had bought a Charger E38 just a couple of weeks earlier. |
