Mt. Baw Baw Dodge WC
No, this isn't a scene from the Himalayas. A number of these modified Dodge WC were in use at a local ski field during the 1960s , ( yes we have some snow ! ) The Victorian reg. plate is dated from around 1967. I believe the chassis were lengthened.
I've been told that some of the drivers were uni students on a break from uni and the trips from the carpark to the chairlift could be somewhat hair-raising.
Used to be one of these Mt. Baw Baw Dodge trucks parked in a yard in Warragul, it was just behind the Jewels supermarket, I saw it sitting there many times back in the 1990s. A VMVC member Ian Led. had another one.
