a moment to enjoy a ridiculous demolition derby - with a 59 Caddy, some limos, ambulances, and hearses

origin stories are very intriguing

Peter Brock was drafted into the Australian Army in 1965 and spent his two years of National Service stationed at the Blamey Barracks near Wagga Wagga in New South Wales. 

During his time in the army, Brock was in the Medical Corps where he often served as an ambulance driver, he and his mates used to race the ambulances around the base. 

It was while on leave from the army in 1966 that Brock first visited Bathurst to watch the 500-mile production car race that was to become the Bathurst 1000. It was after watching the race that he decided that he wanted to become a race driver when he left the army.

ever heard of a WW2 ambulance with a nose art pin up?

 Picture of “Beached Bessie”, a former French ambulance used by the Germans, gift of a US Officer to the ARC. 

Quite heavily decorated (paintings removed by order of the CO), the vehicle first served as a transport for the American Red Cross contingent, but was later taken over by the 25th General Hospital for use as a mess truck to carry the food to the different wards, being christened “Meals on Wheels”. 

This vehicle saw some use during the hospital’s stay at Lison, between August and November 1944.

I haven't been to the El Cajon cruise in many years, it's a bit less interesting and less crowded than it used to be, but there are some interesting cars there I haven't seen before. That's one reason that I quit going to every local car show about a decade ago, there was nothing I hadn't seen already, so after all these years away, there's finally new to me stuff to enjoy

I was very surprised to see this Korean War era military ambulance that looks like it was on the tv show MASH
