I have now got all of my photos taken on May the 9th during the run to celebrate 100 years since the first car made the trip to Dargo in the high country of Victoria.

Here is a link to more photographs taken by Ben Cruachen from the roadside.

Thanks Rick.

The car is a Chev 'Sloper' of (I think) 1936.

That particular body style was used by GM on Chev's as well as Buick and even used by Ford into the 1940's. As far as I know it was an Australian design. Perhaps someone with greater knowledge of GM might be able to add to that.

I love the camping trailer complete with all the fittings as can be seen in a couple of other pics.

Here are some photos of 'Slopers'

First a Chev.



Now a Buick


And a Ford
