Hi Willem,
Mrs Al here, the '27, is a dear old thing, she's a 1927 Oldsmobile Tourer. Al restored her, and mostly she runs
well, but blew a head gasket about 6 weeks ago mid way through a wedding..:) She's great to go out cruising in, and Al modified the back
seat arrangement, built a roll cage, and got 2 commodore seats, welded them into a frame, and now we can take the kids, safely in their card seats. When we need for the original
seat to be back in, he unbolts it, lifts the whole back bit out and drops the seats back in...I know that it's more technical than that..but mechanics and engineering are not my field.
Al also built a front wheel steering trailor so that we can take the old girl on long trips, she went to
Mildura for
Easter for our club's national meet.
The old girl [that's the car, not me!] will be worked on after Al has finished the caravan mods. He has several Olds' around the place, and 1950's Lanz Bulldog Tractor that is supposed to be restored as
well!!...
If you're ever Romsey way, in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria, and you want to see a heap of junk that only car people can get excited about let us know.
cheers
Lyn [aka Mrs. Al]the '27, she'll shake your shimmeys out!
Corrugations...what are they?
