Rona!d Posted July 18, 2021 Share #15645 Posted July 18, 2021 Sorry Hektor, was abroad only with my mobile phone. Here is the full car. I think it could be a 1951 model. Unfortunately a drive-by-shot so no steering wheel details (except what you can see here). Welcome, dear visitor!

hektor Posted July 18, 2021 Share #15646 Posted July 18, 2021 Thank-you Rona!d. They were a nice little car. I have the steering-wheel from one hanging on my study wall. Considering they were imported immediately after the War, a surprising number came to Australia. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigelG Posted July 20, 2021 Share #15656 Posted July 20, 2021 Re the exhausts I had assumed they were “Bellflower” (geddit) or similar period tuning/styling ones beloved by SoCal restorers. Are they specific to the motor installed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they specific to the motor installed? Indeed, and even though not original, indicate a V8 engine only installed in the 1963 Mercury Comet. Mute-on came closest. Welcome, dear visitor!
