The car in the ad is a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, I believe. tinyurl.com/3kzvaxp Size does matter, apparantly... ;) Reply to this message | Report message

me thinks it does! - see www.google.co.uk/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1016&bih=650&q=ford+consul+classic&gbv=2& maybe your thinking of the wrong one - capri classic perhaps? Reply to this message | Report message

I've gone all nostalgic - my first car = 1960 Ford Consul Classic 315 in Goodwood Green bought in 1975 for £80 - sold 1977 for £27.50 for spares , beaten by the rust. here's a better one (than mine) www.flickr.com/photos/29242180@N05/3395358139/ J Reply to this message | Report message

Beaten by rust? they were rare in 1975, let alone two rusty years later! Reply to this message | Report message

Nostalgia. We had the green Mk 1 with sun visor, which my parents shipped back from Cyprus in 1959 - complete with bullet hole in centre of windscreen! Ok, so it might have been the rock that fell off a lorry on the way to Kyrenia, but we weren't going to tell school friends that, were we? Reply to this message | Report message

Damn cheek! you said Quote "Now that looks close! will have to rewatch the ad ! - only thing, the "other one" is Blue!;-)" in response to image.superchevy.com/f/9084421+w750+st0/sucp_0610_01_z+1955_chevrolet_bel_air+.jpg I merely stated it looked nothing like a Ford Consol of any vintage!

Sorry, devonite, but it's a 55 Chevy. Note the front parking lamps and the overriders on the bumpers. Reply to this message | Report message

I agree with mon capitaine. I think it's slightly custom though, note the alloys. Probably been dropped a bit as well. Ted Reply to this message | Report message
