I'm headed down under in Dec for christmas, Looking forward to it if there are sweat rides like this everywhere.

 

Elegant and classy!

Beautiful. Wonder why he didn't keep the stock grille; they're really nice.

 

I'm thinking... Yeah, those Yanks have all the cool cars. Then I read YAMBA!

Go Aussie!

VERY cool ride you friend has there.

 

That is a great example of how to customize a '56 Continental.
Yes, less IS more.
I near wet my pants when I saw it was here in Australia........ Looks like we'll have to get to Yamba this year.

 

I'm speechless - I am without speech WOW, just WOW...

 

x2. that thing is beautiful.

 

I think this is a case of "I'm Rare" being well done.Nice work,neat style and even the colour looks right.Hey,Paul,put on some shots of the Hudson and show 'em what else we can do over here.regards.Neville.keep on roddin'

 

Beautiful car. One of my favorite FOMOCO body styles.

Go easy on the "beers and margaritas". be a shame to bend it on the way home.

dig the plates

 

Classy!

I guess you guys saw the Continental article recently on the JJ..

Very well done, simple and clean

 

Damn...that's nice, really nice job. Didn't come from Austin did it? saw one like that for sale here in town about a year ago...

 

pure beauty

 

I know this is a two year old thread...but WOW!!!
There is one of these sitting in a garage by my house. I keep begging the lady to get it out and let us get back on the road for her but she won't do it.

 

That is a subtle custom. Anyone who didn't have a fair familiarity with the 2nd series Continentals would surely think it is a full tilt restoration of a pristine stocker.
Great job, a classic design in any century.

 

Beautiful!!!!

 

Very Clean, looks good !!

 

Hell yes!

 

stunning car!

 

WOW!!! A custom done with taste! What'll they think of next?
