Just want to know who owns a Landau and what are your reasons for owning one and what are your plans for it , i'v had mine stored away for almost 6 yrs and I cant part with it. For me , i grew up around these old coupes and as I got older life changes and they became a memory and one day the opportunity came up for me to own one. My plans are to restore it and trick it up a little without altering its appearance. I'll be stoked when the day comes that I can freely cruise in it. I really think there should be a site for these coupes they are vanishing and once there gone , thats it , so it would be great to see whats left of them come together. If you own a Landau lets get some pics circulating for us all to see.
Cheers steve

Hi Gordon, have you been to this site? http://www.aus-ford-uk.co.uk/index.htmlThere were a few coupes and Landaus, plus utes, sedans etc that were shipped to the UK and sold new. Most rusted to death with the salt on the roads but a few survive.

Hi Jim,
yeah, Sandy has created one of the best Falcon sites out there if not the greatest. When the Australian GT club use it as a reference to information it's gotta be saying something. There is always something new to learn off that site.
