1946
Ford Super Deluxe Sedan
Owner
Ben AKA "FlatHead"
Purchased
from fellow club member as an original restored car. I have met
the bloke who restored it in Melb he's from the Southern Hot Rod
club and told me he finished it in about 1977 and it then got
sold to Tassy. It was purchased from Tassy about 2 years ago and
bought to Perth the owner only drove it a couple of time before
Frank bought it. I then purchased it off frank as i fell in love
with it the first time I drove it. Its bog stock just flathead,
3 speed, reversed mercury rims. All we have done so far is lower
the front, tint the windows, fit white walls and air con. Just
a cool family crusier cos the baby seat won't fit in the jailbar.

1945
Ford Jailbar Pickup.
Bought in Victoria
after negotiating for a few years. Was bought over to perth as
a driver and decided to give it a quick paint job. 2 Years later
it actually hit the road again to debut at the 2006 Perth Hot
Rod Show. The rear tub section which was an Australian well body
was badly rusted so I constructed a complete new step side myself.
This meant widening the guards 125mm to suit. The whole truck
is pretty stock running a 24 stud flathead dressed up and a supra
5 speed gearbox. the truck was originally red and black but we
changed it to ivory and black to give it that old time look. The
inside looks all original but with a few mod cons like electric
windows and CD player. It was built to be used and so far we have
put a fair few km's on it. The future will bring a new rebuilt
flathead with a few performance bits.
