Canberra Hot Rod Association
History
Trevor Astle's 1929 Pontiac Sport Coupe
I took a decade to build the car as it
moved from Seymour VIC to Taree NSW and to Albury NSW then to
Canberra ACT. I was a former member of the Albury Hot Rodders Inc.
The
almost complete car was purchased for $50 from a grazier at Seymour VIC in
1976.
It was first registered as a Hot Rod on the 4/9/87 but was
driven to it's first ASRF Sreet Rod Nationals in May 1987 here in Canberra
ACT.
This car was sold
in 2000 to a Victorian rodder by the name of Terry ??????).
