Looks like a '71 Torino. If so, it is NOT older than me!
I would have to agree with Brad on the Aussie part, though.
The license plate says "Great Lakes" and looks like Michigan colors. Is the picture in reverse?

Yep, it's the Australian Falcon. I already forgot the year, sorry.
Don't know how he drove it there, the steering wheel really is on the wrong side. Guess that's the way it is in the land down under.

Is there a rule in Australia that you can't have the same name on the car as in the U.S.?
1971 Torino
This Torino sure looks like the vehicle above:

I can't speak for others, but it didn't even cross my mind.

Don't know how he drove it there, the steering wheel really is on the wrong side.

Why is it on the "wrong side"? The Aussies drive on the left like we do, also, they have a draconian rule (thank God we don't B) ) that all imports HAVE to be converted to RHD.
