Saw an ea gl sedan today. Lowered on 15 inch snowflakes and in original condition, so a little beat up but not bad for its age.

Saw an original unrestored John Goss Special XB today.

Can't remember the last time I saw one driving on the road.

It was a green one.

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?

Steampunk style of custom.

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.
