These shoebox Fords were a common sight in NZ, as they were available new. They also made pretty cool custom and drag cars. I don't know if this was a factory 2 door or if someone converted it.

Dave Loose and his '57 Chevy 2 door hardtop. I featured Dave in one of my books, and visited him at his house in Auckland where he had a cool car collection and some neat automobilia. He told me the story about this Chevy, and how he bought it in the US in the late '60s/early '70s for about $200. He was living there at the time and these old cars weren't worth anything.
