Notice the right-hand drive. Packard sold a lot of cars overseas. Only the very rich could afford one of these.

1934 Chevrolet left front
This is another one of those stories where a guy sold a car a long time ago, then wished he had it back. Remarkably, he found it still pretty much in the condition that it was when he sold it. He probably won't sell it again.

green bug tire
White wall tires really look good on cars from this period.

Tumut Festival Parade
Can't identify this one. I think the picture was taken at a parade in Wales. Notice the distinctive radiator shell and the driver on the right.

1954 Triumph TR-2
I found this article in a 50-year-old magazine. The test showed that the car would do 104 mph. In those days, the TR-2 was under $2500, new. Clicking on the page should make the print large enough to read.

'71 Morris and '47 Cushman
This little car was made in England. It as 4 speeds and an engine of only about one liter. Not fast, but fun to drive and good gas milesage. The same could be said of the 1947 Cushman in the foreground.

Buick
A continental kit on a Buick. You could buy a kit to do this. It freed up some extra trunk space, and some people said it made the car handle better. All of that overhang might cause it to drag the pavement.. The Buick is about 1955 or '56.
Austin Healey
This is THE classic British sports car. Engine is a six cylinder, in-line, with overhead valves.

You have to be old to remember when these were in widespread use. What can you tell us about it?
Help!
Can somebody identify this car? It looks British. A Hillman, maybe? Rear view mirrors on the front fenders look like something from Japan, but the steering wheel is on the left.
1947 Oldsmobile 4 Door Sedan
A very nice Oldsmobile. Click on jay el for more pictures of this car and plenty of others.

1933 American Austin Roadster
75 inch (190cm) wheelbase, top speed 55 mph (90km/h), 14.8 horsepower 4-cyl engine
Just the car I need for those quick trips to the Taco Bell. This one was in a museum in Maine. I guess I like it because it was built the year I was born.
