Shirley Knott 1957 Posted Saturday at 07:35 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:35 PM Always liked this one, I've already admired it from afar via TooSavy's thread. You know a car is 'of a certain age' when the manufacturers felt it necessary to SHOUT from the rooftops that it had 16 valves... How many!? Loving the fact that they actually embossed it on the centre console too just to avoid you potentially forgetting. Jim Bell 1 Link to post Share on other sites
