In The Shed At Shady Creek With Richard Fazzani

The small Victorian community of Shady Creek is a distance from the highway, in fact Cobb and Co. coaches used to rattle and rumble through the area way before the Princes Highway was ever dreamt of.

READERS forum

What a find! Maybe one of our readers will recognise these photos as being their own. Most of the cars shown here would be familiar to Victorian rodders, particularly those who were fortunate enough to get to Riverside for the drags back then. I was too young to have a driving licence so never made it to Riverside, but still recognise most of these photos. A couple that I don’t know include the light coloured (white?) channelled ’34 Ford coupe (Rego: HTR-412) and the rear-engined flathead racer that looks similar to the one John English started out with but his had an independent rear end made from early Ford bits and there are differences in the chassis and roll bar shape. It is interesting that the ’59 Ford Fairlane is equipped with a continental kit – wonder if it came that way or had it added when still quite a new car? Can anyone else add more details, particularly to the not-so-well-known cars shown in this album collection?
