History
Frank "Choco" Munday's 1927 T Ford Bucket
This all steel 27 T bucket was purchased
from a car yard in Sydney in 1975 and brought to Canberra in 1976. I was
in the Navy then, and I joined the Meteors at this time. The car attended
the first Canberra Rod Run on the Australia Day long weekend in 1977. I
took the car around the country with me until I sold it to a Melbourne car
yard on Sydney Road late in 1978.
The car was built by a Sydney rodder in the late 60s.
