[kaybee]

Hi, here's a pic from the 60's that was posted on Ozrodders forum ,with the relevant permission I've dragged it over here as I thought it might be of interest.......



....and if anyone can give it an ID ,I'll take that back and post it for the guys there who like this stuff.....regards Col.

Hi Kaybee

Dont know what the van is, but thats how I remember rods from the early 60's, when I fell in love with street rodding as a young teenager. Most of the rods I saw in NSW in those days were channelled.

The memories of continually having to shut the doors in a channelled car still are there. Every bump & driveway used to open the doors in my friend Kevin Burton's channelled 33, that I was lucky enough to take a few rides in.

Thanks for the memories

Hi Col

Perhaps the Styleline here is a close match?

Thanks Ray ,pretty close isn't it? , just seems the one I pictured has a squarer or sharper "ledge" over the front windows......most everything else looks right though.....

G'day Dennis ,there's another pic of that Roadster with the roof up , plus the same guy had a really neat '39 Sloper with quad lights ,let me know if you want the pics on......cheers, Col.

hi Col,

I would love to see them. As you probably guessed, I love 30"s & 40's car with custom fitted quad lights

G'day Col,

When I put my magnifying glass over the computer screen, the nameplate above the front window looks like it starts with an "S", and then the second letter (although faint) looks like it has a high, long "stem" to it, like a h,k,l,t or something like that.

I first thought Gypsy, but the brow over the front window is nothing like it.

Something beginning with 'S' ?? (It's almost like "I spy with my little eye..." )

cheers,
Al.

Thanks Col,

I reckon the modified 33 hood sides on the duece would have been pretty advanced construction for the day.

Notice I dont use the terminology "hi tech" as its used as an excuse for lots of poorly thought thru concepts

And the sloper was pretty cool. I dont think I ever came across either of the rods in my travels, but thats not surprising I guess, because I lived in the Bush until 1965.

Thanks again.
