*NOT VMX* THE CLASSIC CAR THREAD

[Rookie#1]

Seems a lot on here also have old/classic cars or at least an interest in them, some may not care for it but i'd say plenty will. The old man come to visit yesterday and i got a few snaps of his 58 Star Model Cusso while he was here.

Ok, I'll admit it...... I've never heard of it........ 

What is it?
The front lights look a bit Ford-ish. 
What sort of engine/trans?

Regardless, it looks really cool.
Has it got a towbar???

It's a Ford Customline Tony ... or Cussy's as they are often called.

[Tony T]

Thanks Simo.
In hindsight, that was bit obvious, eh?

C'mon Rookie, just shut up and DRIVE it.
Who cares if it aint VMX or VDT related, it's a good thread.

Memories, when I was born my Dad had a FORD Mainline ute,

Go wash your dirty mouth out MrT!! by now others have given you most of the answers, this car in particular runs 351w with a c6auto, 4 wheel disks and air con. In its original form it would of had a 292 Y block and a "fordomatic" trans. Dad also has a very original 55 cusso, matching #'s car with a 272 y block and 3 on the tree non synchro box. You bet it's got a tow bar!! If it's not gonna piss down rain all the to Harrow and back this year I'm gonna use it as my tow car

Have you told your old man yet?

Yes rookie, as you where saying today, the Adler would look nice on a trailer behind your dad`s car.

Here's a cool old car that's been around the NSW vintage racing scene for years.....It's the legendary Brian Clarksons 56 Mainline which is fitted with XR8 EFI 302, 4sp auto and 9'' diff. Brian's owned it for years. The bike in the back is the even more legendary Roy East Matchless Metisse, now owned by Clarko. That's a neat Cusso of your dads Rookie.

Or both .. depends where you came from.  My folks called ours "the Cussy" but I've also heard them called Cusso as well.  Who cares .. a cool old ford.

Here are my cool old Fords:
