Bob Phillips 1923 T Ford Bucket


"Something Blue"
Yes this is the old McDonald Bros 23 Ford T Bucket which was finally registered I believe
for the first time since appearing at the Narrandera Street Rod Nationals in 1973.
After turning up in Canberra many years ago and being sold a few times to different rodders
each of whom did a bit of work to try and get the bucket registered it still took a long time.
Eventually it ended up in Bob phillips's hands who persevered and finally got it registeredin 1998.
Bob has since sold the car to an interstate rodder.
