Dion Willcox has recently completed this bright yellow '34 Ford 3 window,
and gets to as many runs and shows as possible, having been rod-less
for a while.
Colour me yellow department - this buttercup flavoured '34 roadster
looks delicious.
Gary Schulz's sparkling silver '34 3 window has made a few local
runs, and the fit & finish knocks 'em dead.
It took 20 minutes for the crowd to part around this superbly
restored and detailed '55 Chevy Bel Air Sports Coupe.
This car is being seen out & about all over the place, which is
great for such an iconic Australian model as this '39 Ford deluxe 'sloper'.
Jim Humphries '34 Tudor looked to be the only hot rod in town in
this shot, in the park.
Often overlooked, Falcon convertibles provide almost as much panache
as a Mustang of the same year, for much less financial outlay.
This is the '28 roadster that
Brent Oldridge built some years back, though we didn't get the
current owner's name. |
This sweet '56 Sports Coupe comes with the rare 396 option. Ok, it
wasn't an option, but it has the 396 now.
Yellow looks great on any body style, as this '35 5 window coupe
attests. George Higgins' '35 sedan looked great in the same colour
many years ago, as do the others nearby.
The 400 inch SBC in Gary Schulz's '34 runs what appears to be an
updated set of old mechanical operation Hilborn fuel injectors.
Part of the attraction for the crowd was the '55's all alloy LS-1
small clock, replete with EFI and a supercharger, giving more grunt
than a yard full of porkers.
The young generation, imitating, to some extent, the style of their
grand-parent's generation. Nah - the dude would never pass for
Grandad.
Darryl Wells, from the Ridez shop in Caloundra, owns this well
detailed Chevy. The shop does this sort of thing for a living - a
great advertisement.
A flathead, a really good cooling system, and an overdrive manual
box, and you have a stout combo for any A hiboy sedan.
Please don't touch - the sign says. Its a pity that the
thieves who stole the blower off this 392 powered Mopar last year
couldn't read, or couldn't care.

We missed the owner's name, but lucky Peter Paynter got to drive
this heavily hammered '32 Tudor around town for a bit.
All steel and all Ford, Peter Hickey's SBF powered '32 Tudor was
bought for a song, in relative terms, and is going up in value every
day.
By the time we saw this '29 A debut,
Phil Woodbridge had sold his latest left hook beater closed cab for
something in the order of 45 large.
Now this is what old timey hot rods looked like. They didn't have
satin black paint, they had shiny paint and flatheads, such as we
see here.
Darren Silich's '28 Model A hasn't been sold, so Darren still has
the pleasure of driving his baby hemi powered roadster pickup.
What a great combo - a Norton Commando in the back of a barrel-nosed
pickup.
The ex-Rod Dowley '34 coupe's heavy duty supercharged SBC has as a
backdrop the pretty flatmotor that lives in the A Tudor hiboy. Nice
contrast.
There were only 3 slopers at the event, and we got them all. A
non-entrant, this one was parked in the public car park.
