Thank you!

Yes agree! Hope that too. Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! That must have been awesome. Wish I could visit them and ask them if they have any sales records from the time. Would be fun to know who bought the car when new. Your'e welcome to visit the channel and I will try to update as often I can.

Thank you! good luck with your Fairlane!

Yes it is and it took me a while to find one.

Yes I've read some history of these cars. According some information they were hoping to save money by taking a production car and send it to Italy for modification instead of handbuilding them at Fletwood. Don't know how that turned out. Did they save any monye or made a loss on every car aswell in 59' and 60'? Intresting story, thank you for telling it!

@@ifixmycarmyself2502, I would think that they lost money on the 59' and 60' model also, lol. A funny thing. In 59' they made one hundred of these at Pininfarina, but one was dropped in the water at the port of arrival, so for the 1960 model Pininfarina created and shipped 101 of them! This is the story, but I wonder if maybe a mobster (who was in charge of the dockworkers?) might have 'appropriated' one of the 59's!!?? The 59' and 60' model had a triangular window that slid into the top behind the rear door window when the rear door was opened! Really cool! The are crazy servo motors in the trunk on either side that actuated these, with a slick upholstered cover on them. Your car of course has the alloy rims (I think they are magnesium)?, also the 'brushed' stainless top and the Mouton fur carpeting. The top of the car to the ground was very low-slung one of the if not the lowest car to date at its production, at least for an American car anywhere near its size. The 57' Eldorado Brougham also has the distinction of being the car on which 'pinstriped' white walled tires were first introduced! White walls being wider before the sleek pinstriped ones on the Brougham! As Dad recalled now, Grandpa's Broughams took about 2 or 3 days to lose the air in the airbags when brand-new! Also, when you accelerate the car will (is supposed to) raise a little higher on it's airbags, (intentionally) and ride like a cloud on the highway!

Yes this car has stainless steel roof. Yes they were quite expensive and only 300 cars were made in 1958.

Good to know and yes, the hood springs are rather weak. I will probably need a lot of parts later when I start the restoration. Will be interesting to know what else you make. Thank you for this information!

Nice to hear! is it still in Australia?

Well, I don't know about trashed, but there is for sure a lot of work. But I have seen very good restorations that started out of a car worse than this :)

Thank you! I have been working on 2 Challenger projects, one after the other for some years and felt that it was time to do something else. Some videos about the work one one of the cars on my channel. Only plans are to get it running, do the registration and then take it from there. Perhaps installing aftermarket air suspension if original is impossible to fix. Thank you for your comment!

@@ifixmycarmyself2502 I understand that…keep moving forward 👍

Ja, det är kul! Ja, den är fantastiskt finFrågan är om min kan bli så fin. den renoveringen tog lång tid.

@@ifixmycarmyself2502 klart den kan bli lika fin :) Frågan är kanske om du vill det. En kompis i Sundsvall har också en, men den är orenoverad i bra skick. Det är väldigt trevligt det också :)

I really cant tell and perhaps it's only a thing that just happens. Some technical issue and the car was unused for a very long time. It does not bother me to much. The whole idea is to have is to have a hobby and I would not be able to afford a restored one.
