I recently retired from my place of work, a large home improvement/hardware chain in Australia. Many of the larger stores, have a trade section where customers can drive in, park their vehicle and shop for what they need. Over the years many an interesting and lovely motor vehicle has come to our car park and drive in section, and I have had the pleasure of photographing some of these. This particular lady stopped everyone (customers & staff members) in their tracks....
Hope you enjoy this post... I have posted a few other photos below....
Cheers F' now.... " Jezza"

Love it! Was that restored to look like that or is it a true running and driving barn find?

Hi there Ron, according to the driver/owner, this ol' girl is as original as it can get. Few parts had to be manufactured to keep it on the road, and the original engine was replaced with a Canadian Model A engine. The original fuel tank was badly rusted out, so an aluminium tank was built to fit up inside the original cavity (behind the instrument panel). Apart from all the "ornamental Australiana" bits and pieces, and the "law required" indicators & brake lights etc., this vehicle is unrestored. She was a real "headturner" on the day.
Amazing to see the difference between the 1928 Ute and my 2003 Ford Ute ( my Avatar).
