Pretty sure that is a 1957 Ford body. 58's had 2 oval-shaped taillights on each side.

Alan,

Actually that car was made on the same line as an Edsel.. Here is the short version
My buddy is an Electrician, the Guy selling the car has worked on various commercial projects with my buddy for years, he is the foreman for a general contractor, so they see each other whenever one is working on the other one's contracts.

The guy selling has for about 2 years, told my friend he was gonna sell him the Turnpike, and give him a "Smokin' Deal!"
I was with them the last time they talked price... somewhere in the $5000 range. My buddy and I went to see the car, when I took that pic. We got home and he cleared a space in his garage for the Cruiser, waiting for the seller to call him back with the "Smokin' deal". The guy checked eBay, where there just happened to be a mint turnpike cruiser going for high dollars.
My buddy never heard from the guy again. He has since seen the guy cruising the Turnpike around town. Needless to say, he is disappointed.

Johnno! who ever made that Vegemite sambo ain't no Aussie,
For one, never see bread cut like that it should be cut on the diagonal, that way you don't get too much on your face,

and two, the Vegemite isn't spread evenly on the bread. It`s going to be tough but I think I`ll be able to learn yus some edicate with the black cream

Alan,
