I shared some of these on the Facebook page, Australian Hot Rod History, and Aussie Historic Hot Rods, also Aussie A Models...if you're not on facebook, you should join, just to belong to these groups, (and my "Gregs Coffee Mornings and Mid Week Runs")..they are well worth it, even if you don't use facebook for anything else..
