Swap meet find 1942 Inter

[Mike K]

I recall the occasion I was at Bills main yard , I think A Browne was with me , anyway he drove us around to another shop somewhere in the back streets , he seemed to have yards all over the place . Anyway I mentioned I had a early C8 4x2 blitz and he said his father had one of those too , apparently they had a garage business and they used the C8 as a run around vehicle . He showed us a mezzanine floor and I climbed up and stacked up against the wall were 6 brand new cab 11 windscreens , all still wrapped up in paper , you can imagine, I was trying to hold back my look of wow ! Anyway the price was 15 bucks each ! I took three of the screens, these were complete windscreens in original paint .

Bill was telling me about the 1/2 ton Dodge Command car they sold after the war , he said a rural postman in NSW bought it .... this was the Command Car I tracked down in 1979 ....

back to the shop ..he had packets of NOS Chev wiring looms just sitting there . Another VMVC member bought heaps of stuff there , even qualifying for the free calender Drews' had printed.

There was a huge amount of NOS chorehorse spares too....

Poor Bill wanted to keep the business going but his siblings wanted to close it all .....
