dsl ◊ 2016-09-18 04:25	I think Zodiac, 56-58 rather than 59+??
zodiac ◊ 2016-09-18 13:57	I rather think 1959+ mainly because of two or three things: - The chromed wheel embellishers (chromed sheet metal) of the early Zodiac http://www.classiccarcatalogue.com/FORD%20GB%201957.html was replaced with pressed aluminium ones Link to "blog.hemmings.com" roughly when the Low Line was introduced for the 1959 MY. - It has chromed rain gutters, a feature not present on the early Zodiac. - I also believe it has the lower roof line together with s/s around the front and rear window, suggesting 1959+. The only feature suggesting it's a MY 1956-58 is that it doesn't have chrmed head lamp surroundings. Replaced or dizzy picture?

I rather think 1959+ mainly because of two or three things:

- The chromed wheel embellishers (chromed sheet metal) of the early Zodiac http://www.classiccarcatalogue.com/FORD%20GB%201957.html was replaced with pressed aluminium ones Link to "blog.hemmings.com" roughly when the Low Line was introduced for the 1959 MY.
- It has chromed rain gutters, a feature not present on the early Zodiac.
- I also believe it has the lower roof line together with s/s around the front and rear window, suggesting 1959+.

The only feature suggesting it's a MY 1956-58 is that it doesn't have chrmed head lamp surroundings. Replaced or dizzy picture?
