Now I KNOW it
doesn't have whitewalls and steel wheels, but I still really like
the look of this Tudor. The wheels are Boyd Coddington's and they're
obviously reminiscent of American Racing Torq Thrusts. Just goes
to show, classic design never goes out of style.

Now this is
more like it I hear you say. Nice and clean and simple. Black Tuck
& Roll interior and some steelies and you're right in the 50's…
bro.
Although, I
suspect that with the 4-bars and the moulded in side marker light
that this MAY have been a Street Rod at some point… Not that there's
anything wrong with that!

…and 24 years
later this is what a Ford looks like. Nice old Cusso this one. I
just couldn't resist the photo opportunity.

This cool Aussie
Cruiser was for sale. I think it was around $5,000 (Aussie, so about
$5 US!). It was pretty much stock and may have even been in the
original paint still as it was pretty thin in spots.
Unfortunately
the plates weren't for sale HIP-60S.
It sure as hell
doesn't take much to make a car look cool, lower it a bit, set of
whitewalls and Moon disks.. Hang On! HE COPIED ME!

Now THIS is
a YOOT! It must have 4 inches taken out of it. The rest of the body
is flawless too. I saw the owner, but I wasn't in any state to introduce
myself, so I figured I'd leave it for another day.
I'd love to
find out more about the car though, it is VERY nice.

After
struggling my way around the swap for about 3 hours I'd had enough.
Surprisingly, there wasn't much Rambler stuff there. Why am I surprised???
So
it was off to the Revolution Rodders Observation Run which was being
held just down the road. Due to the lack of any navigator and the
fact that I felt like I was going to throw up, I decided to skip
the Observation Run and just have a bit of a lie down… for about
5 hours!!!
After
my little nap and a couple of close calls with being reunited with
my breakfast I managed to stagger around enough to take a few more
pics.

This
T roadster was for sale at the Swap Meet. It had a $38,000 price
tag on it. It was sold by mid morning.
I
sure hope the guy is going to finish it off for the new owner.

I don't think
I've ever seen a '36 Panel before, ever, not even in a magazine,
so I imagine they're pretty rare in Australia.
What I great
looking automobile. I didn't check whether it had… "If the van is
a rockin' Don't bother knockin' " on the back or not.
I even like
the slot mags on it.

This great roadster
is John Beer's. Complete '39 Mercury running gear. I want it!

Now I had to
look twice, but this is/was a VW. It's now got V8 (possibly 351)
in the front. There's some fairly major fabrication inside the car
to fit it in, as you can imagine.
Great caravan
too!
