kd1975 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Good start to the new year.....all registered and ready to hit the road.

doctordave Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Aussie cars were different, the lucas parts are to do with legalities when they were built. A certain amount of parts had to be sourced locally. These were built from 53-56 here with some changes (like hanging brake and clutch pedals in 55 and a different front bar in 56, pretty sure they went to 12 volt +ve earth at some stage too. In 57 they started building Chrysler royals off the same body with different front and rear panels, wrap around rear glass, different dash and a v8 option. They also extended the wheel base by mounting the diff further back on the springs by 1 inch. Just a few things I learnt while researching my cars, I'm now building a chopped and 2 doored 58 Chrysler Royal AP2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
