Did they ever make a Plymouth Ute down ther or is that a one-off?


Dennis

 

Dunno about that, only utes in those pix is a holden and a ford...

 

seems like theres no shortage of desoto grills there

 

Yeah I have a thing for those...last pix, cant be bothered with more.

 

Ohhhh Brandy likey! Get me a towel....

 

I thought that was a Plymouth ute too, but then I realised it's a Holden (indigenous to Australia... made by GM).

 

I think you guys are nuts! It looks JUST like Mai kiki's Ek Holden or whatever that Holden thing is of his ....HIS PURPLE CAR.

Purple like the bass man's knickers.

Just got home, sunburnt and feeling like she-it. Cool cars though!
Took some pics, will post some later.
Heres a preview:
Bagged truck


Theo's new merc, imported as is form the states.


Aussie hot rodding History, was built in the '50's. On a new chassis, the body still wearing its brush-paint applied 50 years ago.

Adrian's 32


All Alloy

Andrew's 34, beautifully built, everything has been refined and finished to perfection, his job by day is restoring Jaguars and Mercedes from the 40's and 50s.

 

Hi My dads over there for 2 months on holiday ,he was at the show said it was great .He has my camera with him so I should have some photos .

 

great pics guys keep em comming.

 

Last ones, off to sleep!
I didnt take too many this time, wasnt in a photographic "mood" i guess.
This car looked killer, had some kind of candy, i spotted it while i was talking to somebody and missed getting a front shot. Great car


Caddy, was built in the states a long time ago, i read somewhere (most likely here) it was a complete bucket of shit and had to be rebuilt. Looks evil now!

Merc.

 

What was wrong with the green/blue primered 32 roadster as it was on a trailer on its way somewhere when I saw it as I was going to work tonite!!!!

 

I dont think it is registered yet. It had a "Ford" number plate, but nothing legit.

 

To answer your actual question, yes they did make Plymouth Ute's, and also dodge and desoto. In most years they were the same body with different jewelery.

They come up for sale pretty regularly and don't fetch much......the grills in the desoto's don't last long

 

Im usually not that much for Caddy kustoms (prefer them stock), but that first light-blue one has the right Hollywood-Big Sleepish vibe to it. Thats the way a fifties Cadillac kustom have to be. Very cool.

 

the 34 sedan is very nice , thanks for the pics

 

Those Dudes from down under, really know how to build some killer rods. Amazing how many American cars made the trek a million miles from Detriot.

Cool pics, looks like a great weekend, I'm with Brandy on that Cad (but I don't need a towel).

 

Now wouldnt you want to find this in an old barn/lockup n use it as is ,just like it appears to be .........Dreams
Nice Pics ...

 

Yeah the light blue cad was bought off ZZtop apparently...

Heres a front shot for ya sean-

 

I spent a whole day ridin around in that baby blue Cad about 12 years ago, when it was in primer. Was at the Brite show, and we were drinkin piss all day! The guy says "hey Yank hop in" thats all I remember......OLDBEET

 

You boys have some nice hot rods over there! Later,Bill

 

i am going to have to wipe myself off now! jeez!

 

Great Show! Didn't get many pics, but I did get something I am still blown away by!

Who Daky (aka Geoff) gave my daughter Isabella a plate he had pinstriped.
Thank you Geoff, from both Caroline and I. It will be put up as soon as she is moved into her room from the nursery. I am still stuck for words!!!

Later
Brett...

 

Thanks for the pics guys...that's the most cars I saw all weekend!!

As for the pale blue Cad, that's Tony Ryan's. I remember seeing it about 1993 down at Geelong at a car show when I first started uni. Was in matt black (probably how Old Beet saw it aty Bright). Stupidly I took pics of every other car that day except the Cad!

It runs on a late model (somewhere from 72-76) Cad rear-drive chassis with a 454 up front....well, from my vague memory it does. The other rumour is that it was built for ZZ-Top but rejected....so another cad was built after that (it's gone on to SOME acclaim, I hear!). I've taken quite a few pics of it over the years, including beside my mate's 50 Convertible which dwarfed Tony's.


Best kick I got of this past weekend was zapping around the car park early on Sunday morning on Gruntis' Harley bobber! I'm still grinnin' from ear to ear and feel very privileged. It made my weekend. Thanks Grant!

Was also cool to see Whodaky doing some "instructing" and "inspiring" (as per usual) with his pinstriping throughout the weekend. That was pretty cool too.

Big thanks to Chopper and Steve and the crew for the great weekend. Proud to be part of the "family"!

 

Once again looks like a great event by chopper and the lads, well done, looks like teh weather held out this year.


Hope to catch up with all you Mexicans next week for the Vic show.

Did someone say HAMB BBQ????

 

Cool pics guys, I didn't make it this year due to RENOVATION HELL at home....entire holidays spent werking on the house...*sigh*

Cheers
