Australia's (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/australia) obsession with automobiles is as strong as the passion we feel for them here in the states. Bandit Films recently brought us a clip showing one man's love for his Ford Falcon Squire (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/11/video-australian-man-discusses-his-affair-with-the-squire/). Now it's produced a new film showing one man's ode to the dry lakes racers from a bygone era in California's automotive history.
Dubbed the Rancho Deluxe Roadster by its owner Ben Thomas, this 1932 Ford Model B is powered by a flathead V8 and just drips with classic hot rod (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/hot+rod) cool. Thomas parks the car at his shop, Rancho Deluxe (http://www.ranchodeluxe.com.au/), which specializes in working on American cars from World War II through the sixties. It's also a place for folks to hang out, have cake and coffee, then talk about cars. Click past the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/19/video-australian-man-brings-socal-hot-rodding-to-oz/#continued) to see Ben Thomas talk about his roadster and his passion for cars.
