The hammer dropped for $12000 to Canowindra buyers Denese Smith and Ken Saward.
Denese has been a long-time volunteer for the Age of Fishes Museum and could not live with the possibility of losing such an important part of the local cultural history.
Denese and Ken plan to make the car available to the Museum for promotion and exhibition.
“We are very happy that this important cultural heritage item has remained in Canowindra and proud of the community support received, we are especially grateful to Denese and Ken for their incredible community spirit,” Age of Fishes museum manager Warren Keedle said.
“We literally couldn’t have done it without them,” he said.
A permanent exhibition is being created at the Age of Fishes Museum to retell the history and the importance of this Iconic vehicle in the development of the museum.
