    Beautiful collection, Les. Especially the older ones - from the days when manufacturers were proud to put their names on their cars in big and bold letters.



    Found that Studebaker truck with the "conestoga" cover interesting. Don't see something like that very often.



    Thanks for the sharing.

    A lot of nice cars. Too bad though, was anticipating a pickup or 'UTE' or two...

    Sorry Rick, only one ute in New South Wales which is under restoration at the moment. One a 1939 is or was for sale some time ago, but I don't believe it sold, there is a 1936 Terra ute in Melbourne (victoria) which is used regularly, a few Essex Dovers in Queensland.

    Yup, understood. Not many Hudson pickup trucks found there way to that part of the world, and the Hudson UTEs are not too common either. Saw the '39 UTE for sale a couple of years ago (only one I've ever seen), and if my budget was unlimited, it would be in my 'shed' by now... Hope it found a home with someone who will restore it - That UTE is way too rare to be sitting around, 'going to earth'... :(
