  1. Regarding " Mr Hancock & Load Of Grapes - Possibly around 1930 -- Dennis Gaudie Collection " From the UK De Dion Bouton Club: Good morning Alan As your message came through I was just flicking through some photographs of commercial vehicles, so the timing could not have been better ! Yes it is a De Dion Bouton truck - you will notice that the name of the company also appears on the nearside of the radiator too. In truth, there is very little knowledge within the Club of commercial vehicles, primarily because you would not need all the fingers of one hand to count the survivors. This vehicle is of 1920’s date, indicated by the style of the radiator, and if I were to stick my neck out I would say 1926 (ish), four cylinder, and around 20hp. By this time, most vehicles had pneumatic tyres, but it was not unknown for vehicles to have solid tyres. I hope this is of some use to you. Kindest regards Michael
  2. Some of my ancestors in an Oakland. "Stewart & Millie McEwin at Morialta With The Millers C.1920 - Car an Oakland."
  3. Closest match I can find for the "possibly Buick" is 1922, going by radiator surround, because after that there's an Eddie Munster widow's peak in the center. The truck seems to have De Dion Bouton on the bonnet, and the driver or owner has crudely written Malcom on the front of the radiator shell.
  4. My historian friend was happy to get IDs on the cars "Hi Allan Just tell me when you’ve had enough! Thanks for the ID’s. Most helpful to have some details for future historians." He has sent me another batch. Both he and I think one is a Buick? Lunch At Fishermans Bay SA - Edna Harmer Wm & A. A. Wood, G.

  5. Confirming 1946 Hillman Minx Phase 1 - although the photo above seems to be running black-out lights.. maybe a tilly from late in the war?
  6. Australia had a policy in the Thirties of only allowing chassis and scuttle imports in order to provide work for local bodyworks/coachbuilders. Therefore cars may vary slightly from what you are used to. Any help identifying these South Australian vehicles would be much appreciated. These are from pictures/photos collected by an amateur historian from various families that grew up and lived in a small town in the Mid-North of South Australia called Blyth. He has asked me if I can help identify the cars. 001-1.14 Hermann and Toni Steinhardt Car Photo with others 002-car & caravan C 1945 - Barry Smith Collection 424 0006-Lawrence holding bottle 1925-002 Ted Growden family
