BIG thanks to Brad from 4hammers (NOT 100% Holden)

[4hammers]

Hi All.
This is what I love about any car buff. Brad contacted me the other day & asked if I was interested in him emailing me some pictures his mate found of old VW's. "You betcha" I replied.
Well, he has gone to big effort to scan these off & may well have provided me with the mystery of where my 55 came from & why it is the colours it is. long story, but one of the pics, shows a 55 (Only about 5 where inmorted with factory Safaris) in ANSETT colours & that may well explain why MY 55 had different colours to the standard Blue & Safari windows.

Basically, Brad has gone out of his way to do something nice for a car lover. Not Holden, just someone who digs classics. No payment involved & i hadn't done anything special for him.
So thanks, Brad. You are a good mate.

I owe you a Bundy or 7!!

p.s. If anyone is interested in seeing my other bus in a TV commercial, click this link & press the "Play Commercial" button. Let it load, as it will stagger, but once it has, play again & it will be clear.

   Thanks for the pat on the back . it's nice to know you'r appreciated. It's no drama to spend a few minuets on the computer to help someone out or to give out some info. After all, isn't what this forum and others like them are all about.
     As for V Dubs and such I like em all , Dodge, Ford , Pontiac , Austin A40's even 120Y Datsuns they all have their faults and good points.

Hey Alex,
Here it is. Cool, Huh? Quite possibly MY bus in it's former life. There were only a few 55's imported & very few (Approx 5) which had factory fitted Safari windows (Front opening windshields).
