The Wilson's had a car wrecking yard just out of Mildura, towards Merbein , think their son ran it. Anyway, they decided to have a big clean up and the yard was featured in Restored Cars magazine. A few of us called in to have a look around, think it was 1981.

We spotted a few gems including a very nice WC21 Dodge for $500. One thing confused us though, somebody had removed all of the wheels from the old cars, the wheels were sitting in a pile on one side of the yard. After enquiries, the deal was, if you purchased a car, you had to hire their yard crane to load the car onto your trailer. The cars were sold without wheels ! Hmm sneaky

I spotted the WC21 wheels on the pile and asked if they went with the truck, a firm NO was the reply.

They also had a Chevy 1.5 Ton Yankee Joe and a very damaged M-H No. 3 or 3A. Lots of 30s and 40s cars . I recall a 42 Ford pickup was $80
