Introducing my new, soon to be daily driver, "Betty" :D

She's a '57 Chevy 4 door Beauville 9 seater wagon (There were 21,803 made) 283 cu. In. Engine. 4 barrel Rochester carburetor. Turbo 350 transmission
Will do a major motor upgrade ;) , convert to RHD and aircon once we have finished our other project car.

We have been using USAtoAUS to inspect, handle the financial transaction and paperwork and ship her here to Fremantle. Indy in Qld has been nothing short of fantastic and helpful so far and I can't recommend them enough.

Will post more pics when she arrives:D

^^ joke!!
Betty is to good a condition to chop. I'd only do it one heading to the scrap heap ;)

She arrived in perfect condition and is even better than we were expecting. Huge thanks to USAtoAUS.com for doing everything from inspections to sorting out all the paperwork and getting her safely to Fremantle. Faultless service by them.

Got her rego'd on Thursday so it's time to cruise :cool: Have a photo shoot coming up in a couple of weeks so will post some decent photos then!
