Ford fans all revved up as models rolled out for big display

Some of those cars are so low they are a joke. Plus they must be illegal. What good is a car that can’t drive (legally) on a road? They would hit every bump on the road. I once watched the trouble a low car (and it wasn’t as low as some in those photographs) had getting around a speed bump. It was giggle worth.

These type of custom adaptions are called “lowriders”. Very popular in some parts of the USA.

Thanks Ian for the write up, and to Jack Mohr for the photos. Am a Ford type from way back when my Dad had a customline .

I intended to waltz in but for some reason the Cooma Street oval entrance was not open for parking, and regret my bung knee(s) won’t allow me to waltz all that far. Again thanks for the piccys.

I saw the 1974 Ford Transit camper-van conversion (Highlander) about 15 years ago just after the then owner had fitted it with a Holden 3.8L V-6 petrol engine to it so it could get up hills.

It should called a “Folden”.
