BRUNSWICK ROD AND CUSTOM SHOW - MY TOP FIVE PICKS . . . . I GUESS DEEP DOWN, OR MAYBE JUST BENEATH THE SURFACE, I'M A PURIST WHEN IT COMES TO PREFERRED AESTHETIC FORM . . . . I ATTEMPT TO EMBRACE CHANGE, CELEBRATE 'VIVE LE DIFFERENCE', ENCOURAGE THINKING OUTSIDE THE SQUARE AND KEEPING AN OPEN MIND [EXCEPT PLUG UGLY STREET TRACKERS] . . . . HOWEVER, IT'S THE 'CLASSIC' STYLE THAT INEVITABLY FIRES ME UP.

    Some nice picks. Some rad trad going on there. Always liked 'cycle-fenders' on rods. Looking like they just drove out of a wormhole from the fifties. That little red Falcon Wagon/delivery is so cool. What year is that? Are the Aussie Falcons styled a tad different in the front fender/head light area than the 'merican ones? I'll have to scope out the Falcon wagon down the street from me later...

      Mate, re the Falcons, there were some that were near identical in trim and others not so, I'll get my buddy Chook to come to the rescue here and sort us out on the specifics . . . and yes, the hair was certainly the loud end of the red scale, even without dyes that I used to enhance it with . . . it's grey now, the stuff that's left at least.

    yep they are a bit different.U.S. sedan deliveries use tudor [bit longer] doors We use sedan doors and that particular model 65XP uses 60s mercury comet front sheet metal and bumper and an Australian designed grille .U.S. also had a v8 option

    Aha, that explains it. I remembered my folk's 60's Wagon with the more rounded nose. Took a walk down the block to see if that Falcon wagon was still there.Snapped a pic of it it I'll e-mail you.
