History
Canberra Hot Rod Association (CHRA)
A pictorial history of Hot Rodding in Canberra
This page has over 95% of the pre-48 hot
rods registered in and around the Canberra A.C.T, the Capital of
Australia, since 1965 (to around 2006). From 2006 the web site pretty
well stopped for a while, so the last 3 odd years of Rodders history has
not been fully updated. I will attempt to update this as time goes by
(with the help of the Rodders). One of the other factors that make this a
little more difficult is that there are some 'lone wolves' out there that
just do their own thing (which is fine). So if you know of someone
that has recently built a Rod or has purchased one from interstate/over
seas, please get them to submit their details (see History Form link
below) so that I can get their 'ride' featured here in the Canberra Hot
Rod history pages.
Recognise any of these cars? Notice any cars that are
missing? Are some of the details too sketchy, have circumstances changed,
Give us some more details by filling out either a NEW History Form (for the
addition of a new Hot Rod) or an Adjusted
History Form (if there is some changes to be made for an existing Hot
Rod web page).
