Agreed - looks like my shift pattern for the 4 speed hydro. P N D1 D2 Lo R

The power booster and changes to the heater box routing under the hood kind of threw me off. That little SBC looks silly in that engine bay . . .

I am pretty sure that is a Superchief Safari. Look at pages 21-22 in the 1957 sales brochure. I think the only 4 door Starchief Safaris were the Transcontinentals.

Agree Poncho60. The steering wheel is US, not Canadian. See attached is photo of Canadian.

Thanks to all for the information. We end a chapter of one vehicle and begin a new chapter with a newly acquired 57 custom safari. Today was the first touch of sunshine since '76. Should be an interesting and fun (hopefully) adventure in reuniting thins car with the roadway once again. I will have further evaluation of plans as I comb through it. Not planning a resto but mainly make it safe and mechanically sound. Also gather missing pieces , if any.
