History
Bill Riddle's 1934 Ford Sedan
This 1934 Ford sedan was originally
built by a Sydney rodder by the name of Les Taylor and
sold to a used
car yard in the mid 60s. It was purchased from this yard by Dennis
Dickerson.
It was fitted with a twin headlight setup moulded into the
front fenders which had been formed
in aluminium and EJ holden
taillamps moulded into the rear fenders which had also been welded
to
the body. It was sold again to Emilio Tesoriero who replaced the front
fenders with stock fenders. It was later on owned by Canberra rodder Bill
Riddle who had it during the early 1990's. It was sold to a
Victorian Rodder around
1996.
