Vintage Boards

Back to Portfolio
10 footer that once belonged to legendary offroader Bill (Wheelo) Anderson
The Eliminators used this Holden for years as their backdrop for their band. The board belonged to Preston the founding member of the band, he refinished it himself with the Eliminator logo. The board collected signatures from all kinds of famous people during gigs and was eventually ceremoniously retired at the Hard Rock Cafe in Newport Beach for a lighter board. The board was displayed sticking out of the back seat of a convertible until the restaurant was permanently closed.
