The Finish Line
She made it (we all knew she would). Glad made it all the way across the country. 4786km in total. What a machine. She’s a credit to Ford and she’s a credit to Graham Wilson for the amazing job he has done on her restoration. It’s also very much a credit to Brett for having the foresight and courage to attempt this journey for such a worthwhile cause. Glad arrived at the Jandakot R.F.D.S base at 2pm today.
Brett arrived with a convoy of 10 other A-Model fords from the West Australian A-Model Restorers club - thanks guys. After a warm welcome into Perth, Brett had to complete one more TV Interview with Channel 9 and the job was done. A successful journey and there were no real problems. Well, apart from the support vehicle requiring a couple of jump starts. Glad was more than happy to help out. What a gal. Oh and there was that pesky Queensland kangaroo. Glad is now safely tucked up in her new home (Brett’s garage). Awaiting her next challenge. I’m sure she would be successful at anything asked of her. Well done Glad! Please support the Royal Flying Doctors, Glad’s earned it.

Over the line.

Glad's new home. Have a bit of a rest old girl. You've earned it.
