IRON MAIDEN

ROBYN BRADBURY > WODONGA, VIC

- CARLY DALE

FOR Robyn Bradbury, it was the build process of her husband Terry’s immaculate XM Futura (SM, Sep ’18) that slowly lured her into the car scene. Through choosing paint colours and assisting with the creation of a bespoke ride, she was hooked! And while backing up a Top 60 Elite build like Terry’s XM isn’t easy, he and Robyn have knocked it out of the park with Robyn’s custom US Falcon, a 1960 two-door sedan.

The Aussie XK and XL Falcons closely resemble these first-gen Yankee Falcs. How are they different?

In America it’s known as a 1960 two-door sedan. There are a lot of little differences; the tail-lights are larger and the grille is different to the Aussie versions. I wanted to keep it American, so it’s stayed left-hand drive, with the brake lights flashing as indicators. The car had ANNE226 Californian plates, so the ANNE60 Australian plates are a tribute to that.
