Cleveland
Autorama,
'09.
The local Buick
Car Club has now combined with the Monaro club
to promote and organise this little one-day show, in bayside
Cleveland. Make and model agnostic, all manner of 4-wheeled vehicles
were welcome, from Rolls Royces to Minis, and Auburns to Zetas. The
numbers appeared to be up, and the swap meet had some great stuff to
trade. Make a hole in your calendar next year, it is an interesting
day out. |

Julie Fitzgerald owns
this very attractive '34 roadster, and hubby Steve comes along for
the ride.
John Keane's
chopped A coupe was first built in San Francisco in 1929, then
again, much more recently, in Brisbane, Australia.
They can make all the petty remarks they like
about belly button roadsters, but when the owner of this red hiboy
is tooling down the boulevard, I'll bet that he couldn't care less.
T-buckets are usually easier to build than other
models, unless you spend a great deal of time over the details. We
expect that this one wasn't a quick build.
Eric Corne's
nicely chopped 37
coupe is seen out and about at a few runs. The
chopped top makes all the difference, in styling terms.

Susan Blackley's '30 Model A closed cab pickup is
another blow for female rodders everywhere. Susan's A-bone is seen
all over the region.
Ronnie Johns' has chosen some unusual colours for
his hard-top equipped '28 roadster pickup, but it all comes together
quite well.
We haven't noticed this US bodied '34 roadster
around before, so welcome to the rat race - or the local street rod
scene.
Shane Scott's '28 hiboy is a perfect example of
one of the earliest forms of hot rod - the A roadster on a '32
frame. Shane's powder blue A hiboy is still one of the better
examples of the breed.
Peter Graatz used to run a Top Doorslammer car at
the drags, so his street rod was always going to be interesting. The
426 Hemi is an interesting place to start.

Built mostly at the Downunder Innovations
workshop at Grandchester, this Aussie
bodied 32 pick-up is the pride & joy of Don & Leanne Collins.
Would you like an early 'Vette? How about one
that was very nicely restored, then fitted with American daisy
pattern mags?What's that? Wooden eye?
Neil Smith's '32 3-window has all the elements of
a superbly styled rod - the rake, the wheels, the orange-red paint.
It is all just spot on.
Originally built for the ASRF, to be given to
some lucky raffle winner, this stylish '36 Deluxe roadster has gone
to a good home, where the style and drivability are very much
appreciated.
That hemi is in Peter Graatz' '41 Willys, as this
shot reveals. Still being detailed, the Willys was only recently
registered.
