Ray Stone's 1947 Chevrolet Ute

Car History Chassis was imported into Australia from Canada in 1947 and fitted with a Holden body.  Purchased by the CSIRO in 1948 and was used in the Canberra Area until 1950, when it was transferred to Townsville.  Sold a government auction in Canberra in 1954 and was purchased by Bede Tong of Top Naas.  Was used on the family farm and was last registered by the Tong family in 1965.  Car was placed in a hay shed until, I purchased the car in 1984.  The car has taken me 13 years to construct and I still own the car.
