That's a real BEAUTY inside and out. I think that body design was way ahead of it's time. :D

You've got that right Bruce. I once had a '57 Silver Hawk. I'd like to have that one back.

Airdale, those are gorgeous photos.

That car is very unique. You did a great job getting some good pictures of it.

[Airedale1]

Thanks all, it's too bad you couldn't be there. It sounded just as good as it looked.

The leather is calfskin and the darker brown portion is ostrich.

thanks Airedale

I never thought about or knew Ostrich skin could be used :shock:
(thought they ran too fast to strip them )
:confused:

maybe they are stripped while their heads are stuck in the sand

:mrgreen:


it just never entered my head
so very interesting now that you mention it
Bruce will be interested
(when he gets up);)

:lol:

very glad to see on the other post that you liked the film 'the quiet man'

I was often at the place where it was filmed
old house there and a souvenir shop, with wonderful hand knitted items etc etc, right in the middle of Connemara in County Galway
it's a magnificent beauty spot in the centre of glorious mountains and wild scenery.
truly a beautiful part of the country
hope you get to see it someday
and be sure to visit Clifton further on
:cool:

My first car was a 1955 Champion. It sure did not look like that. Lovely car and lovely images. With that engine I'll bet it is very easy to get arrested in short order!
