Graham Parkins's 1934 Dodge Roadster

Built by Graham in the late 60s, it attended its first rod run in Coffs Harbour in 1971. From then on it was at all the Street Rod Nats for the next 18 years. It then went into storage for the next 8 or so years before being put back on the road in 1999 to be driven by Graham and his sons. It was sold to a Sydney rodder in 2000.
