The Bay to Birdwood Classic run for vehicles 30 to 50 years old was held yesterday.  Very few pics as is rained, then it rained, and after that it rained some more.

8 SA club cars entered, but got split up on the way to Birdwood, although a group of 5 managed to stay together.



... and the better side of Hot Lips


Then there was the Yellow Cab mentioned by Trev_B on the general board recently, accompanied by it's older brother:

Thanks for the Pics Martin.  Certainly looks like good car show weather! Wink
Well done to the dedicated people who went.  I drove down to Cleveland in Brisbane yesterday for a swap meet and Commercial Vehicle Show (mostly old trucks).  Saw an FX ute, an EH sedan, FX sedan.  No FE or FCs, although last time I went to this show (4 or 5 years ago) there was another yellow cab FC.
No rain at Brisbane, just fine and sunny. Grin
Oh, I did see this little beauty.  Harko would have loved it- 3" Chop, 2 door, no door handles.  About as close to a Chevy Nomad as a Holden can get.  

By the way, it is an EK, not an FB.
Sorry Martin, this has turned into a thread hi-jack (unintentionally) Huh

Surprisingly I'm not that overly keen on the looks of this one (Sorry if the owner is watching) Its just not my cup of tea ,I'd put this one into the "Wild custom" category and I think I prefer a milder custom look with all flowing lines like Mercury's or early chev's.


Like I always say - everyone is entitled to their own opinion but that dont mean everyone is going to like it.

I'm with Harko - not keen on the look of the FB treatment of the EK - but I wonder what it would look like if the FB moulding began behind the door, so the curved door arch flowed into the FB moulding in a "lazy - S" shape, if you know what I mean.  You Photoshop experts ought to be able to jigger that one up.

As to the Concourse cars at  Birdwood - No FE/FCs in finals - too wet for me to take much interest in the others.  Don't even know what car won - although my choice would have been a nifty little Renault 750

Shocked  What's this Huh Taking part in the hijack of my own thread.   Shocked
