It had been a couple of weeks since the old chev had seen any daylight and with our hot Aussie summer just one sleep away it was a good time to point the radiator up over the steep ploughed Thorpdale hills of Gippsland and nudge myself little closer to the perfect blue sky for a couple of hours and as always I stumbled across some old corrugated farm building which had seen better days but now as a great backdrop to Monty in a photo, it certainly looks great..
In 1969 dad rescued this 1928 Chevrolet (10,485 original miles) off a Gippsland farm, he then stored it for a further 41 yrs in his workshop. A few months before dad was suddenly diagnosed with "AML Leukemia" in May of 2010 we spoke about getting it out of the shed, dads said "We'll get it running but we're not painting it all fancy". Sadly this never happened as dad passed away after a 6 week battle on 14th June 2010, I owe dad this restoration so here is my story of "Monty" our 1928 Chevrolet.
