Look what I brought home today!

Well, a bucket-O-antifreeze and four hours later. She is now home. My wife loves it and will love it more if it fits into the garage. My two year old daughter said "so you are not sad anymore?" My nine month old son wants a bottle.

Got to rest my white nuckles!

 

Cool! It's the Custom model, right? What engine/trans?

My first car was a '58 Custom 300 (different side trim, arm rests on both doors, two sun visors, and a radio) I can't think of what else differentiates it from a regular Custom. Mine had the 223 6-cyl and 3-speed/OD.

What are your plans for it?

wow, so many possibilities! What are your plans for this masterpiece?! (after your son gets his bottle)

 

Wow, there is one exactly like that in a junkyard near me. Same color and everything. Cool car you have there.

 

Swell!

 

It's a Canadian car and yes this is a Custom 300 with a 223six. Got to fix the rockers and head light bucket.
Thinking of Watson style panel/scallops and some pinstriping.

 

nice score man , my dad had a yellow 58 in the early sixties they are great cars..

 

I wonder if anyone makes custom tailight lenses or will I have to get creative.

 

i have a 58 fairlane myself, two door. my dad had one but sold it. these cars are great dude. you will love it i promise you that. if you dont i'll take it from you

 

Best bet is to look through some early '60's little books. I'm pretty sure there was a lens that was a pretty common swap, but I can't think what it was.

I like '58s, everything except the grille/bumper, but the same ideas that work on a '57 will work there, so all you need is the old AMT 3-in-1 kit for inspiration.

 

Nice find will make a great early 60's custom!

 

I'm thinking of taking out that center bar and put a tube grill in.

 

Perfect

 

Nice score! Here is a quick photochop I did...they aren't quite Watson style, but this may give you an idea...

 

Nice ride, will we see it roaming the cruise nights and car shows the rest of this summer?? Maybe at the sat night in Ajax??? Or is she in for some minor work before she hits the streets again?? Either way, looking good!!

 

Beautiful! I have to hate you.

 

Nice ride!! My first ride was a 58>>>>.

 

now build a bad y block and 4 speed!!!!

 

Nice quicky! You're only adding to my anxiety.

 

I have to fix a big old hole in the rad and tiny little leak in the gas line. Oh, and fush the brakes. Hope to ge to a Saturday Ajax cruise and aming for Autofest.

 

Sweet car............I love those... There were two different tail lights for those... I think it was the wagon ones that were shorter than the others..
