1958 Dodge Custom Royal (Australian).Lovely!

I used to see this original r/h drive aussie assembled classic Virgil always parked in a street near my area in the 90s. One day in 2000 i went and got some footage of it. It was one of the last times i saw it too. Haven't seen her since. I just hope she's still alive and being looked after somewhere. The classic variety show theme music playing is the Dean Martin show. The second theme is the Bob Hope show. Talk about greats of the past hey. I had them playing out of my car radio back then. As you can notice, i'm in my car.

There's a good reason why you don't see this 58 Custom Royal Dodge in Newry st anymore is because i live in Sunbury now ! Your right this is a factory RHD car and i am the second owner. It was very strange to see your footage on You tube !

@antique350 Hey wow the owner! Wow nice to know she's still alive. Yes the footage must seem a bit strange,I hope you don't mind the video. Do you still drive it much? Anyway are you on facebook?, because i have also added this video to the facebook group 'forward looks down under' so you'll see it on there too. Anyhow she's a gem! Have a nice week mate! Cheers!
