Re: NZ flathead pics I hope
These are just part of a great collection.
The colonial cabs are certainly different (note the roadster dash when used with the car fronts). One thing however usually the colonial cabs have very small doors and getting in and out can pose a problem unless you are paper thin. |

Re: NZ flathead pics I hope
Tony, I just came to this post and see that you had posted some pics of your dad's truck here. I was thinking in some previous FB posts, maybe several years ago, you had purchased a 35 or 36 pu here in the States that you were planning to send to your dad. Is that now also kept with this collection?

How neat is that, a 1936 and a 1951 Ford Ranchero.

Re: NZ flathead pics I hope
Didn't notice any station wagons. Were there wood bodied wagons imported into Australia/New Zealand? Considering the dry climate there should be survivors. Bill

Re: NZ flathead pics I hope
There was quite a number of Jailbar wood bodied wagons built for the New Zealand army.Sold off at government sales in late 50s and 60s.All in good order and bought by tradesmen etc.Pretty well all rotted out in time. Cheers

Re: NZ flathead pics I hope
Wow, what a collection of great old Fords. This one is my pick. A 1935 Ford Deluxe Three Window Coupe. I also notice a few Aussie Utes have been added to the collection. Thanks for posting all these pictures. |

Re: NZ flathead pics I hope
Very welcome Mercman
The 35 three window was once quite a radical Hot rod as I understand it. A lot of $$$ was spent converting it back to the very nice car it is today |

Re: NZ flathead pics I hope
I was involved with the restoration of this car back in the early 80's for the late Rick Mayne who moved to Australia in 1986 and went on to build up a sizeable collection of 1935 V8's over there.
You are correct in saying it had been a hot rod prior to him obtaining it however I would not say it was radical. The body was still stock but the motor and transmission had been upgraded. This vehicle became part of this collection about 1985. |

Re: NZ flathead pics I hope
No Ted that 3 window went to Australia (ex Tuthill ) along with a 35 cabriolet ex Late Don Massey.
He also obtained a couple of years earlier a 36 3 window body from Hamilton which is now in Nelson as a hot rod. |

The last I remember hearing is it went to Canada but I’m sure someone will know for sure as not many were built in the first place. This all happened around the late 1970’s, early 1980’s I believe. Really wish dad had a spare 3 hundy back then! I have no idea what condition it was in, but apparently had a little rot around the rear corners. Would be interesting to know what became of it. |
