. . . and palm trees too.  The streetscape would have to be inspired by Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena.

Here's a better look at the dash, it'd look good and get tongues wagging if you could fit one to an FE/FC

I had the speedo part in my last FE. I think the year is 1954.
It is very similar, most people never noticed.

I took a punt and Googled 1954 and got it  ::)
I figured it'd be '54 as Australia seemed to get all the leftovers from GM USA  :P

Even the ignition switch looks the same as in the FE/FC

Yeah I have been looking for that speedo with a conversion that will accept a 4L60E gearbox...

Recently saw a RHD (Aussie-delivered?) '53 Chev (according to rego sticker) with an almost identical dash. The speedo looked same as FE/FC...

Definitely 53 Chev , did one up a few years ago per the image on my avatar. Wife has one as well that I should be working on,  though I have managed to get sidetracked on another FC   :).
