JIM CUSHING, AUSTRAILIA

JIM CUSHING MOVED HIS FAMILY FROM ARKANSAS TO AUSTRAILIA SERVAL YEARS AGO, QUITE THE CHANGE.

JIM NEVER LOST HIS PASSION FOR OLD CARS, AUSSIES HAVE IMPORTED SOME AMERICAN CARS OVER THE YEARS AND SOME FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD AS LONG AS YOU DRIVE ON THE LEFT INSTEAD OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD.

JIM CONTACTED ME HERE AT THE ROADHOUSE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO NOW AND WAS INTERESTED IN A 1959 GALAXY 500 THAT WE HAD, WE TALKED LONG DISTANCE OF COURSE AND JIM SENT A DAUGHTER THAT WAS STILL LIVING HERE CLOSE BY TO INSPECT THE CAR.

FINDING IT TO HER SATISFACTION, SHE CALLED HER DAD AND GAVE HIM THE GO-AHEAD.

IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, IT TOOK JIM OVER 6 MONTHS TO GET THE CAR OVER THERE.

SO BEGAN THE STORY OF JIM'S GAL......

AS YOU LOOK AT THESE PICTURES THAT JIM HAS SENT ME,  YOU HAVE TO KNOW JUST HOW DIFFICULT IT IS GETTING PARTS IN AUSTRAILIA, NO AUTOZONE JUST DOWN THE STREET.

IT WAS A LABOR OF LOVE, ONE HE SHARED WITH HIS WIFE AS IT TOOK OVER THERE HOME AS WELL AS THERE LIVES.

ALL CAN BE FORGIVEN NOW CRUISING AROUND KANGAROO LAND IN THIS BEAUTIFULL CAR.....

HATS OFF SALUTE TO JIM AND HIS FINE RESTORATION CREW....HOORAY!!!!!!
