This is a laid back way of cruising the park -
just pop the door open and let the early A roadster pickup lope
along of it's own accord.

Johnnie Walker, of Coffs Harbour, owns this
highly detailed '34 coupe utility.

Despite this being a pre-49 event, there are
always lots of interesting late model cars for us to drool
over - this ultra low pickup was one of those.

Peter Watson had two cars there, but could only
drive one at a time. It was the T's turn, quite a lot of the time.

John Phillpot spends most of his time back in
Australia now - enough time for he & his friends to piece together
this all-steel '32 hiboy roadster.

Ron Abela brought his Aussie bodied Pontiac sloper
up from Bonville. There were more slopers there this year, & almost
all were GMs.

Flat black often means the cars are harder to
keep clean - and the ever present dust will provide this crew with
some fun times.

Marie Mitchell takes the girls for a tour - in
the family '32 tourer that husband Kenny started collecting parts
for a lifetime ago.

This shot doesn't show the fully detailed IRS in
Rick Werner's '32 5 window - but it does show us a very pleasant
side view of this show quality, street driven car.

Glenn Reardon's all original bodied '32 roadster
sets a great example of modern hot rod styling.

Sandy Horne is invariably referred to as "Hornie"
- hence the plates on her new huffed & chuffed '32 hiboy.

The Goodhands are able the adjust the ride
height of their normally very low '35 5-window coupe. It goes up
before it hits the highway though.

Pater Barrett would like to sell this LHD '30 A
coupe - let me know if you are interested & I'll pass your details
on.

Have you considered buying a restored stocker?
Bang some wide whites and steelies on it, and you have an instant
hot rod.

When finished in this low and black fashion, the
'32 5-window is immediately identifiable as a street rod - the
flames remove any doubt.

This spunky deuce hiboy came from way up in
Queensland's central coast, along with a bunch of other cars.

Noel Inman allows a couple of lucky friends to
sedately cruise the dusty Valla Park tracks - a far cry from the
flogging the '22 centre-door T gets at the go-whoa or burnout pad.

Dick Tracey owns this extremely nice '34 Chev
roadster, complete with air bags and big block mumbo.

Either these were very, very short people, or the
seats were mounted way low in the body of this '28 Tourer. Either
way, it looks cool.

The painter is obviously confident in his own
abilities - this large bodies MoPar sedan looks all the better for
it too.

The metalflake on Craig Hill's '36 Chevy 2-door
sedan sparkled in the sun, despite the thick layer of dust that
settles, as the cars cruise.

Stephen Kent's '28 Tudor hasn't been on the road
very long, but is well known as a frequent cruiser.

The flat paint doesn't show the smooth body to
the best effect, but apart from that, this '36 coupe is still a nice
unit.

This crowd cruised until most others had dropped.
The 1928 version of the Ford tourer stands out as a cruising
platform.

One of the most popular rods ever. the early A
roadster on deuce rails is just as popular now as it was in the
forties.

Steve Phillpot's '32 Tudor kicks up a little dust
in the late afternoon glow. The cruise track goes down by a lagoon,
visible in the background.

The Australian arm of GM, Holden, built Chevy
bodies for 5 decades, and some of them became tidy little street
rods, as is this example.

The more doors the merrier, particularly when it
comes to cruising. This slammed MoPar illustrates the point well.

When was the last time you saw a channeled '28 A
leather back coupe with Z'ed frame, Dodge grille and fitted with a
MoPar small block? While it sounds odd, John Baker's new coupe looks
fine.

The blower & scoop poking out the top of the '28
roadster is about as subtle as a head-on train smash - we love
it!
