Queanbeyan Swap Meet 2014 - Fords


 Only Falcon XABC Coupe on the day - but it was a ripper

The Queanbeyan Swap Meet is held in conjunction with two car shows - the Ford, GM, Chrysler Day and the American Car Day. This post is about the Ford's that were on display on the Saturday. I will post about Ford cars that appeared on the Sunday, in the near future. The focus of this post is Aussie and English fords (OK, a few US cars as well).

Interesting profiles. Only the front panels and floorpan are interchangeable between the sedan and coupe. Even the windscreen glass is different.

Queanbeyan 2011 Swap meet - American Car Show

As a two day swap meet, the Queanbeyan Swap Meet is a real commitment for the car enthusiast. In my last post I covered day one. This post is of day two - and the cars featured on the main oval are the American Cars. Naturally, many are the same cars that turned up on Saturday, but many US car owners make the trip just for the sunday American Car show. Its also an opportunity to pick up car parts at a better price than yesterday, if you are inclined to haggle (I am).
