It's me again. My wife decided that she would never get her '58 2-door on the road, so she sold it... and bought a running '58 4-door!

As purchased




She immediately set to dressing it up. The scallops will eventually receive pinstripe outlines in deep teal. Later she will repaint the entire car... something hopefully not eye-searing yellow.




Then she stitched up and installed the door panels:



Next up is to install carpet:

The car came with a complete dual carb intake, aluminum racing wheels and a slew of parts. The old owner never threw anything out.

Is there a site where I can run the numbers on the motor to determine its displacement? I assume it's a 948, but we'd like to make sure. Also, does anyone have any pictures of how the pillar between the doors is trimmed? I can't seem to find any pictures showing it.

Very Happy Red Sedan Hi Hellfish, nice lokking morry, have a look under the manifold if it's a 948cc should have 950 stamped into the block and have an engine No starting with 9MUH------, or a 1098 will have a plate rivetted in the same place with 1100 stamped into it. Eye Rolls Blue Sedan Cheers from downunder William Ballard.
