The Vintage Club are currently the custodians of Lil Louie. Lil Louie was built in 1989, with design and coordination by Chris Laycock and authorisation from Ford Trucks in the USA to be built as a Ford LTL 9000. Chris took approx. 400 hours to build the plug for the cab out of wood which was then made into moulds. All the painting and assembly was carried out at Farmpower, a local machinery dealership, by Chris along with some Farmpower staff and local townspeople. The estimated cost of time and materials for this fantastic project was $250 000.
It was built for the inaugural Grains Expo held in Quairading in 1989 and is still available for hire for local shows and events.
