I'm currently restoring a 1959 ap2 Australian Chrysler Plainsman, it has power assist steering (which I'm having leaking issues with the ram cylinder) 131 poly powerflite transmission.

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.

Location: Georgia		What a neat car, Aaron! Please post some more photos when you get the chance.

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

Looks good!
Pete

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.
