This lovely turquoise 55 TBird was owned by Vanessa’s Dad from the day he drove it out of the showroom in ’55 to their hometown in Canada (we assume without a bootful of bootleg). It was brought out to Australia by Mark and Vanessa just over a year ago, and with a few ‘tweaks’ was licensed and running. Last year Vanessa’s Dad (a lovely gent) and her sister visited Australia, and joined us on the Crankster’s Pipeline Cruise to Mundaring.

Mark and Vanessa came on the recent Drive-In Cruise – they went topless. Steve took this shot at the Causeway rendezvous point. See more of his fab pics here, if retro metal’s your thing… I’m guessing it is.
