Last of the Chrome Bumpers 2014

The Last of the Chrome Bumpers show took place on Sunday, October 5 2014 at Lardner Park in Warragul.  Over 2,000 cars were displayed and about 40 trucks, most of them from the Trafalgar Truck Restorers Club. Here's some pictures from the day.

These are our trucks -our 1974 1418 Benz and our 1976 N10 Volvo

I know, it's not  a truck, but it belongs to John Burley, who is a good member of the Traf Club and the Gippsland Vehicle Collection http://www.gippslandvehiclecollection.org.au/, so this Humber Hawk gets to feature in this blog.
