Almost brings you to tears..
A wagon, a ute and 3 sedans..... What a waste. Even if they were too far gone ther is certainly parts that others would have been able to make us of.
What a waste. :'(

Whats the go with the boot emblem on the late 59 on the back??
Do you have any further information on the photo. Like how old is it? Where was it taken? Any way of knowing where it was headed?
Red
SA plate on the trailer :-\
The person posting them on another forum was from SA, so guessing somewhere down there.
He asked the srappy to hold off crushing them and offered to sell them for him.....next day they were all gone.
I believe the pic is very recent.

Nice detective work Keith.

Wow,
All the Holdens are obvious but I'd like to get my hands on the Puegot 203 in front of the sedan in the fourth picture and it looks like an Austin Devon ute in front of it, what looks like an Austin 16 and a Mazda 1000 and maybe a Customline ute and a Valiant in the fifth picture and an old kombi in the last picture. I'd love to spend some time wandering around that paddock. Looks like a bit of history.
As for Scrappy's, weve got a new one in town and have got him educated. When he comes across something of interest he rings one of my mates.
I have mine educated as well thats how i got that last job lot but he also gets me honda motors any old moto bikes.
We had a HQ come in the other week i got venetians guards and heaps of goodies love my scrappy.
I got a cherry T model chassis of my scrap yard last week for free ;D ;D ;D ;D......FC427......
Last month i got a T model chassis unsure what year its earlly but it had a irrigation pump mounted onto it
It also has a piece of fencing wire holding a spare front crossmemeber onto it.
Well if either of you come across a 1937 1 1/2 ton Chevy truck I would be interested... ;D ;D ;D
I just sold my 2 international 1 tunnas
I have a dismantled 27 chev tourer in the shed and a 27 T model buckboard ute also a partial 30 chrysler.
Been thinking of selling my 1926 Armstrong Siddeley
(http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y376/57effie/Our%20Armstrong%20Siddelley/DSCF0638.jpg)
Looks nice one of my cars i sold was going to be used as a garden ornament which was pretty dissapointing.
but better than scrap.
Hey in my job lot i have a complete windscreen exactly the same as that except mine has a small wiper motor on it

Hoon Shame it's not a complete Roadster they are one fine looking and very very rare car .....still cowl and fenders is a great start for a project .....FC427.....
If you look closely so does mine. wiper on the outside handle on the inside. just need a willing passenger. air con as well, tophalf or bottom half. Its complete except for the starter generator the tyres held airuntil about 6 months ago and it was a runner when I bought it about 2 years ago. I actually thought about putting a grey in it. It only has rear brakes tho and the front springs are half leaf fixed at one end so front brakes would be a problem. I dont want to let this go for anything other than restoration.
i love rods but some things should be left alone such a fine example i dont think it would be a great looking rod as well it would look better restored just my choice i guess.

Cresta's I love them, if you aren't familiar with them google them up. Had a mate with one in the 70's running a worked 186, man that thing could go and looked really slick ;)

Sorry I didnt know poms made a car that ugly i thought they only made cars that barelly 2 people could get in.
Those tailights would look good in a custom.
There used to be an fe or fc getting around brisbane with a set of those tail lights in it. Around the time of "Rock'n Roll George" for those who remember him. I vaguely remember holden motors going into all sorts of pommy cars, Humbers, Morris cambridges, vauxhall victors.

It's out of an old Custom Rodder, I read and still have got a large collection of early aussie rod magazines I use for reference material ;)
Eddie Ford certainly got around.

That looks like it. The fc I remember was a green similar to trevor_b 's. That car looks darker. also remember a bronze eh wagon with the same lights front and back. I reckon the xa falcon sedan lights would look good vertically on the back of a wagon.

Amazing Alex... :o You must have an incredible database happening there...
Here's another with those taillights and some other very interesting mods.

There was an FE wagon at the 3rd Nationals that also had Vauxhall taillights, but I can only find a front shot ATM.
