Recent news. The yellow Pontiac ute (originally from Geelong) is still around, the fire mainly damaged the cab area , the seat , doors and dash. The rear and front end are undamaged. The sprinkler system in the warehouse saved it from total destruction. Hopefully., the chassis has not been heat affected and the steel lost its temper and gone soft

This Pontiac came down from a RAAF base in Townsville to Geelong in 1946, the owner told me this when I bought it from him in 1981. It had been for sale.for some time , a few club members looked at it but it looked rough, he dropped the price down to a give away level. I drove it home up Geelong road.
