Picked up a new project today, thanks to Ray Smith for parting with his garden art.

Good stuff Russell. The new wagon for the Nullarbor run 2018?

Thanks Craig, putting me under pressure already!!
Would be good to have it finished for then, thinking of a later type setup for it. Not sure what yet but probably a v8.

A bit more pressure for you Russell! Its taken a few years but I finally found it. We'll have some work to do on it but nothing too major. I pick it up in couple of months. Roll on 2018.

Yes, love seeing posts of dear old girls coming out of "storage" - any whipper snipper marks?
Have "logged" into this thread - watching with keen interest.
Bit OT - Craig, are you coming to the dark side.... does it sleep two?
Wheels look like early Pontiac...? maybe Morris Cowley...?
If you run the Nullabor - I bet the truckies don't have the usual whinge about "wobblies" when they eyeball this one ... and on the back of an FB...
I can see a feathered Apache arrow through this little gem... even a small Apache headband on the crown to match...
Do you mind if I copy this van pic and post it on our ACC caravan forum? - I'm certain a lot of my fellow members will want more info.
Might be time to start a thread of its own... you certainly have my attention.
Love to find that it has a travel history.
Apologies to the OP - I've got a soft spot for little teardrops.
frats,
Rosco

Yeh Rosco I'll start another thread. Don't want to take over this one as we do so easily.
Its a 1948 model.
Wheels are Dodge (1933).
Travelled a bit I'm guessing.
Hoping it will be behind the EK ute for 2018....not sure about the colour as yet.
Yeh fill your boots with posting elsewhere.

Thanks Craig,
will do.
And - looking for your new thread. Something is nagging me that we have a "period caravan" thread in this forum somewhere... might have to run a "search"..
frats,
Rosco
