Bill Jansen's 1937 Ford Club Cabriolet

This Ford 37 Club Cabriolet was found in a quarry near Yass NSW in 1985 but consisted
only of the rear quarters and the top half of the cowl. It was dragged home anyway with
work starting on rust repairs and trying to find the missing parts, with the floor and lower

        cowl coming  from a 37 Ford sedan  found at Captains Flat NSW
After a trip to Bendigo swap meet with a $1000 all the other body parts were found.
       The left rear quarter side was replaced with one coming from a 38 Ford coupe Speedway          .      car due to the amount of rust in the original panel. The top bows are 1940 USA Ford
       Convertible.  The car was completed in 3 years and has been on the road ever since.
       This car will be up for sale at the 2001 Nationals at Hawksbury NSW so that I can finish
       my 1937 Willys Pickup.
