Gday Stingray,
I remember seeing that wagon at Uraidla.
The pic doesn't do it justice!
Twilight Turquoise is a strange colour, sometimes blue and sometimes green kinda colour.

in the nooks & crannys.

here's a pic from Palmer hotrod street party 06,
and as hemi stated it shows how twilight turqoise appears
more greenish in some pics, and more blueish in others.
Thanx for your replies.

Not bad for 1250 $mackers hey? (see pic with ship)
Knocked him down from 1500 about 5yrs ago.
Plans for the interior is to get the front bench retrimed
and some carpet moulded, with door scuffplates chromed.
Unsure yet as what to use for rear floor of wagon,
currently original but 44yrs old.
Everything else is in pretty good nik

Heres a pic Of me Vintage Caravan.
Dont Know exactly what year it is (yet)
but we are Guessing late 50s early 60s.
Its totally original and had been garaged for 20yrs previously.
Looking at doing as little as possible to keep it as original we can.
It has a canvas roof, metho burner stove and a really old fire extinguisher in it.
Also looking at changing the side stripe.
