Harko, here is some more firewood, this is a 1957 Carapark Cardman, how would you like to tow this up Bulli pass with an old grey?
I haven't had an opportunity yet to do so but we towed it home from Hurstville behind the Hiace no worries

Wouldnt want to tow anything either up or down Buli behind a grey .
Its bad enough gritting your teeth in the every day flow of traffic wondering if your gonna stop let alone putting yourself into Buli willingly  lol

Awesome stuff guys , I have a favourite but cant seem to find it - stainless jobby behind a chopped v8 dub - trophy guy.
If I can find or snap a pic of it ill get it on here - its real cool.

Hey Norm, If Harkos gunna help with the van you'd better sharpen up the chain saw  Grin
Does any one recall seeing cars being driven through these old plywood vans as warm up entertainment at speedway events?

im guilty of this awful practice of gutting these old vans of all glass and metal fittings so they would not spear drivers in their bomber s,every season first race all around Australia they lined up for the caravan smash up derbies.but thats why all old things gain value,due to their treatment in the days when there was plenty.
