What is that on the EH bonnet and dash?
Interesting custom, owner has a sense of humour And is that a Mainline ute near the 6wheeler? |

Looks to be a 55 Cadillac tail fin welded to the bonnet and lots of gas pipe fittings and gauges mounted throughout the build. Real MG next to the 6 wheeler, yes Ford Mainline next to that. There's a couple on full reg around here. Couple more classics. Galaxy LH Ford ute and Corvair beside one for Spritley. HZ wagon (deadringer for my first car.) I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20.

On my morning walk i spotted two that are not common. the first was an Imperial (a Chrysler product). It was being worked on in the driveway of a factory and the other was a very original looking EK Holden complete with venetians. Unfortunately I didn't have my phone with me.

Two immaculate old Ford's this morning. The first a stunning orange XW GS sedan, the second a bright red 65 Mustang Fastback.

I saw a Humber Vogue (around 1964)this morning. Its years since I have seen one. At first I thought it was a Hillman Minx but it had twin headlights.

One day you saw a clapped out Magna with a coat hanger aerial bent into the shape of Australia for the last time and didn’t even know it.

A few days ago, I drove (in our Territory) from Williamtown Airport to Stockton at knock-off time, which is mainly an oncoming line of cars a few seconds apart, over 10km. Don't know why, but I decided to count the Aussie built cars.
One VE Commodore and two BA/BF Falcons. That was it. Nothing older. Depressing. |
