Re: FODEN

Wait no more.
Taken out the front of the Calga Roadhouse on the Pacific Hwy near Gosford NSW. This was a very dangerous section of road before the expressway bypassed it, as witnessed by the next pic. Note my parents 1940 Chev in the background.

Unfortunately this one came to grief on the afore mentioned road, and was behind the Calga roadhouse, with my dad to the left of the photo. I was up that way about 6 months ago, but the roadhouse is long gone and there are only a few buildings left there. There is an old workshop there and a few houses. I guess the rest have made way for the on and off ramps to the freeway.

Very early ghost taken opposite the Ampol Casula one Sunday morning after the Tumblong changover. The Ampol was the last servo out of the metropolitan area, on the old Hume long before the freeway. I used to stop to stock up on Coke ( the bottled variety) on the way out, and the way back.

Swishy, never ever put a screamer, in a short wheelbase truck.

Note to wannabe truck drivers. Always undo tailgate before raising body.

Petrol powered Commer, Broxbourne St Mays Hill, at the workshop behind the Atlantic Lone Pine garage.

Benz, somewhere on the Hume between Marulan and the border. Obviously carrying Holden parts, indicated by the marking on the front box.

Seddon and AEC outside the Tumblong roadhouse.

Atkinson truck and dog outside the Tumblong roadhouse. An unusual combination for the time.

I think H H Chadwicks and Toll were both from Newcastle, then became Toll Chadwick. Then they both disappeared and the new Toll emerged. So I think the answer is yes, but IDSTBC.

The AEC in that pic is a mk ll so 1949 or older. Standard spec was a 7.7 litre motor backed up with a joey box.
