Mjcq
Hi
Nice pics
Reminds me of the trip my friend and myself took in 1980. We drove up to the MJCQ swap meet in his 1946 Dodge sedan , the car ran well all the way up and back . It was the fluid drive model with the torque converter . We sat on 100 kmh all the way , what a comfortable trip it was too . We slept in the car .
The event was held at the Cooparoo Aussie rules footy ground , we had a difficult time finding where it was located in Brisbane . We spotted a army Jeep and followed it , after a wnadering tour around the suburbs they realized we were following them , they stopped and said they were also lost as they were from Rockhampton .
At the swap meet a guy was selling NOS Ford and Chev speedo units for $10 each . I bought 2 sets of Dodge big end bearings for $5 a set .
They had a slide show on the Saturday evening . Ian Grieve showed his pics of Corowa from memory .
