Will, that's a late '53 brochure. The one from mid-55 is virtually the same though.

I saw that but not for offers over $1200 though! Another person that needs his head testing! :lol:

Interesting thing is that in the photos posted you can see the Iris Blue page and the carpet colour is shown as grey not honey brown...??? :?

The car has the remains of what I'm sure are the OG carpets and they look grey not brown...so which is right?

Apart from wheels and the baja look of a standard car I like the look of a standard car so it's gotta be right.....just don't like to drive a standard car as I'm petrol headed speed freak and a 30hp engine non syncro box don't cut it...!!! :lol:
