G'day! Scott from Western Australia Been lurking for a couple of months and this seems like a great site with lots of good information. And unlike a lot of other sites there doesnt seem to be any hatred or abuse of people and their ideas going on. Which is a rare thing on the internet. I have a 1957 Chrysler Royal AP1 (Australian Production 1) These Australian produced mopars are based on a 1953 Plymouth Cranbrook (P25?) with different front and rear quarter panels. The engine in mine is a 251ci "KEW" (English built) flathead 6. 25" long block. Gearbox is a 3 speed Overdrive manual. Column shift. It's going to be a long restoration as I have arthritis in my lower spine so crawling around under a car is not much fun. First couple of pics are my project. Last couple are an idea of what they look like rolling.
Welcome mate. Nice car. I've also got a Kew, going into a 27 chev RPU sent via classroom note. pass it on
West Oz is a big place; I lived in Scarborough Beach and Mount Lawley (Perth) and Australind (by Bunbury). Never saw a Chrysler like that, very nice. Welcome to the HAMB.
