Just visited your great web page, and thought to send you some pics of my own.

My '48 business coupe, is a Mercury Monarch, and was imported from Canada. '46 - '48 coupes were not sold in Australia. It  was completely rebuilt by myself over 5 years. 

 

It is black, with cream leather upholstery, tinted power windows, and Dragway Mag wheels. Has independent front suspension, with power-steering rack; fitted with 351 Cleveland, C4 automatic, 9" rear; butted front windscreen, filled cowl vent, air conditioned; Milled Billet dash, JVC 10-stacker CD, Auto Meter gauges, bucket seats,

 

I am a life charter member of Taree Street Rodders....the club was formed over 21 years ago. We have approx 35 club members, and have two other Ford coupes in our club:

 One is a '47 business coupe, which I originally imported from New Zealand, and re- built 28 years ago (is now owned by another member).  The other is a '41 business coupe, new to our club, have not viewed it yet.

 

Looking forward to perhaps viewing my Aussie coupe on your web page.
