Ozstatman Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 (edited) From April, saw this Hispano Suiza in Bowral, a 1934 Model Junior (HS26) with body by Chapron, apparently the only one in Australia.

Ozstatman Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Lots of utes around the Southern Highlands, both for rural property owners and tradesmen, but "light"trucks are growing in popularity and now that Ford and Holden are no longer making cars will be much more so from here on.

Mike36 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 VL 2, I agree the Hispano is a beautiful machine, but if that is your favorite I encourage you to look at what Duesenberg made. My personal opinion is no one has ever topped them in design and beauty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozstatman Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Friend of mine called today and said: "Have a look in the street around the corner from my house". Did that and found his '37 Packard Super Eight Club Sedan parked there! He and his wife were returning from a "drive" to Victoria and back, about 1,000kms each way. They'd been to the Christmas Party put on by the Victorian Region of the Packard Automobile Club of Australia last weekend, and are now making their way home. The weekend prior to that they attended the Christmas Party put on by the New South Wales region of the club, a mere 150km round trip. While in October the travelled to South Australia for a Packard Rally, 1,500+kms each way plus the runs on the rally. This Packard was bought out a Museum in the US about 9 years ago and since then has made many trips to Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and many, many shorter trips. Definitely not a trailer queen, it is almost a daily driver. In fact before the owner moved north of Sydney a few years back he drove it daily from his home to his workshop where he worked on various Packards of his own and on those of others. This trip was a commute through Sydney peak hour traffic, but only a mere 10kms each way. Will be catching up with them tonight for dinner. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozstatman Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 On this mornings constitutional saw this "big' Healey. However I didn't have my 9 yo granddaughter along at the time, so the photos taken by iphone leave a lot to the imagination. Have a soft spot for Healeys, my brother having had a 100/6 and my sister a 100/4 back in the 60's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) The cowl and middle of the body are from a different car, I think. Earlier 1930s or late 1920s. Edited March 19, 2018 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozstatman Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) John, Thanks for the identification. But.....I notice the pic you posted has round rumbleseat lid corners while the ones I posted are square. Could be because its an Aussie built body? Also notice the mudguard(fender) step in your pic is further forward than the one in my pic, putting aside the obvious difference that mine is on the left side while yours is on the right. But, in your pic, I love the swoopy looking step plate just forward of the rear bumper Edited March 19, 2018 by Ozstatman (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, late model, don't know enough to be able to identify it specifically. But they aren't making anymore 'cause the Holden plant closed last year. ALL our vehicles are now imported.

Ozstatman Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Not as quick on the draw, ie getting the phone into operating mode, as Keiser. Studebaker seen yesterday in Bowral. Fortunately the light turned red, so I did get a shot! PS - know it's a mid '50's Studebaker.
