The best way to introduce myself is to say I love old cars and the more unusual the better! Here are my full size cars.
They are a pair of Australian built Utility coupes (UTEs) both built in 1956. The Desoto is my keeper since it is one of only 275 made and the only one currently known in the USA. The Plymouth has been a nice driver for the last three years since I imported them but it is for sale so I can build the Desoto. It is one of 505 made and is one of three in the states. ANd before you ask yes it will fit a hemi. yes they are right hand drive (only made in OZ) and yes they are based on the 1954 American Plymouth sedan but made in 1956 in Australia. You can leran more about them on my website www.roadkillontheweb.com
I also am into powered promotional cars! I own a 1958 Desoto Firemite like this but not in that great of shape yet.
I also own and I am working on a 1961 Thunderbird JR
Along with three of the original factory body molds from the powercar company.
1957 Thunderbird JR
1957 Thunderbird Jr reproduction body
1958-60 Thunderbird JR
1958-60 Tbird JR body and bumpers
And the 1965-66 Mutang JR
1965-66 Reproduction Mustang JR body and bumpers
I was looking for a Desoto Firemite for 20 years before I finally found one! I did find a gas powered 1967 Mustang JR several years ago and bought it and started making parts for Junior car out of necessity sonce no one else was makng them.
