Default Re: Split Rim on 1958 Ford Mainline Ute


willowbilly3 asked what a 58 Ford Mainline Ute looks like? Here is a picture of a similar vehicle to the one that had problems with the Rim. Basically, the body is a carry over from the 55/56 models, and Ford Australia added the Grille from the 1955 Canadian Meteor. All put together, it became our local 1958 Ford. No USA styled 57 or 58 Fords were ever sold in Australia. We just added different trim to the 55/56 bodies for 57 and 58.
