JapChris's totally out of this world (geddit?) Dan Dare Coupe. Excellent detailing and a cohesive theme throughout this gem. Note the flying saucer rad cap emblem.

Neal, there are a couple on this page from my site:
Page from Mart's site. (http://www.flatheadv8.freeserve.co.uk/page2a.htm)
It's Matt Farrant's rpu, a real nice car. It's still running only 2nd and top on the early Ford trans after lunching 1st at the Nostalgia Nationals. Runs a crate Chev motor on an adaptor.

That 57 Fairlane KickS Ass!


Growing up in the sixties, that's all I remember seeing.....my uncles had 57-60 Fords with straight axles and such.......

What is that a four door?

Thanks for sharing, Mart -- your usual good and interesting stuff.

Love the name of the venue. Yanks of my generation were brought up with a pounded-in reverance for the Bard comparable to that of the Holy Trinity. You lot are obviously more comfortable with old Bill. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
