Title: My early family FC pics Post by: Trevor_B on March 27, 2009, 09:30:16 PM Hi,
Found some early FC pictures thought others might like to see. Old slides or early Polaroid pics. (http://members.optusnet.com.au/blackct/seaside.jpg) A family trip to the seaside approx 1963 (http://members.optusnet.com.au/blackct/family.jpg) My siblings in the family FC circa 1964 (5 kids/2 Adults and no seatbelts). (http://members.optusnet.com.au/blackct/shell house.jpg) Family holiday - Stawell Vic? 1964 (http://members.optusnet.com.au/blackct/camping.jpg) Another holiday (Duck Shooting) - Kerang ~1965 (http://members.optusnet.com.au/blackct/des paint.jpg) My brother bought the family FC in 1968 and repainted. (http://members.optusnet.com.au/blackct/dad and des.jpg) Family Holiday again, my brothers FC repainted, Dad's HD (ex taxi) and home made Caravan ~ 1968 (http://members.optusnet.com.au/blackct/1972-4.jpg) My FE/FC - built from an FE & a FC, both heading for the tip but resurrected into one car. Parked outside my girlfriends house back in 1973...

Thanks for taking the time to share them. Regards Alex Title: Re: My early family FC pics Post by: KFH on March 27, 2009, 10:33:09 PM Nice pics Trevor. The caravan is interesting in that it has the door on the right hand side. The plans must have came from America.

Caravan door on right is likely due to me putting the slide in back to front :-\ hence mirror image... never used a slide projector before so didn't notice that ;) Kathi, yep, the Caravan was a home made job (Dad was too tight to pay anyone else for anything). Steel chassis, timber frame and aluminium sheet cladding. A great job that took us on many holidays, he used to sling that auto tent over the side to act like an annexe. Dad also bought ex taxi's because they were cheap and he could rebuild them easily. Trevor_B Title: Re: My early family FC pics Post by: EffCee on March 30, 2009, 09:50:55 PM Hi Trevor,
Great pictures, I love hearing of the stories behind the cars, makes great reading to have that personal touch. Keith |
