green, they are called i think australian flash kits, they come in a fair few different styles, i belive that some were manifactured for dealerships
but i think some might have been factory also. who ever made them they are a period accessory.
some came with ribbed aluminium sheets that fitted inbetween the chrome strips, nifty.

found in a shed in tumberrumba about 6 months ago, this one and a 58 for $500,
the shell number tells me it's a 57(its at home i'll post and get someone to confirm the year) , had popouts and has had blinkers whacked
over them, has a 6v radio (not sure if it works as i need to get my hands on a battery),
once complete will definitely be slammed with whitewalls!..

it was used by the owners kids to drive to the school bus everyday, the dirveway was about 3km long.. so the inside is a little ratty,
the kids moved out about 15yr ago, so they drove it into the shed and left it sit, it did come with a family of creatures in the firewall..
i will post some more pics when i get a camera.
i think $500 was fair, its good that it came with a doner car.

Nice pick up. Bargain for 500 notes. The early 57 year big window cars are collectors cars in my opinion. Be interesting to know what month it was
built. :thumb

have a look at the back of the speedo, they are all dated, if it is the origional speedo it will give you a fair idea of what month the car was made
in.

Great score, green. It looks like it has some great potential. That flash really makes it even more desirable, in my opinion. :thumb:thumb
