Looks like a very nice model.  I was looking to see if there are any features which are distinctly Australian.  Not sure about the red side flash trim which extends along the front fender.??

A two-tone Biscayne had a bright metal filler between the two chrome strips. A solid color car had the same color between the strips as shown here:

621BEEFB B8E7 4533 94B0 8AC1C8603947

The Trax model is nice although the Trax website is not correct in listing the Biscayne as the least expensive Chevy for ‘58. The Biscayne was the medium trim level and Delray was the entry level.  It was for ‘59 that the Biscayne became the entry level. Then up to medium level Bel Air, then up to top-of-the line Impala.

I'm expecting mine pretty soon along with the 1962 Dodge sedan.

Thanks David.  It seemed unfamiliar to me; however I guess this may have been the correct Australian version.  Not sure.
