Yeah, I think I saw that '39 a few times - nice lookin car, I liked them better than '40.
There was a chap around there, worked at Holeproof or Brooklands or somewhere who changed cars often, mostly prewar Fords and Chevs. He usually parked on the Railway land at the Bowl. He was in the crowd at Box Hill Burgers on a Saturday night, but I forget his name. --- Carter comes to mind.
At that time I was absorbed in wasting time on my wreck of an FC, bought paint from Dustings and painted out the engineroom, and it came up nice, but all that effort was wasted because car was so rusty.
A friend of mine's father worked at Dustings in W/horse Rd. We piled into his company car one weekend and took off to Casey airfield at Berwick. While the folks were busy flying around in his 1937 Auster, my mate and I were tearing about hanging donuts in the car, which was supplied by Dustings of Box Hill,...a pristine gold coloured '64 EH Premier!! - So that must have been mid 1965.
