This picture has popped up a few times recently. It is the Model A roadster built by Evan Isaacs seen here with his wife Sue back in the mid 60's. Channelled and YBlock power/39 3 speed. I purchased the car in 1968 and by that time Evan had fitted more elaborate headers. After running it around for maybe 18 months it was time for a rebuild and repaint from red to blue. Here are a couple of photos. First one is at Brisbane Hot Rod Show in 1970 after rebuild and first presentation. Also a shot of me at the Drags and I won B/HR class. Then an article in one of the Aussie mags.

 

Unfortunately, even after months of surveilance work, neighborhood watch captain Bob was no closer to solving the chop shop problem troubling our town.

 

Here are some more photos from the family albums.1 from a brochure from where my parents spent their honeymoon, 2 my mom and her dad in front of an Olds convertible 3 my grandma at a picnic 4 a college friend of my mom, and a few more

 

Loudbang, if this was before lift-off, wouldn't the paint be shiny? Friendship 7 has that "used" look to it.
