Uncle Jim's FC

I was recently able to get copies of some old family photos that show the car that often turned up at family events alongside the car that is now mine. My grandfather owned mine and his brother owned this FC.
It looks pretty good with its white walls and wheel trims. It would have been in good nick under the bonnet as well, as the mechanic who serviced it was none other than MalFE from this site. Does that bring back memories Mal?
Cheers

Great looking car in the days when you could drive the family around knowing petrol was the cheapest part of running them.
Is that Lake George & somewhere out near the Cotter?

My guess for the first is somewhere near Stanwell Park...

I think Crump is right about the first photo, and I have no idea about the second one. The car lived all it's life in Five Dock, Sydney, so it must have been on a trip somewhere.
There seem to be no existing photos of the 2 cars together, which is odd because they were always at family things together. Maybe one will still turn up.

Good photos to have, especially when they have a connection.

Nice photos David, it would have been in the early 60s when I serviced the car.
From memory he purchased the car second hand and his previous car which I had also serviced was an immaculate 1927 Buick tourer which he donated to a Technical College.

And here it is - the 1927 Buick tourer that was given to the tech for apprentices to learn their trade on.
My understanding is it was owned by my great-grandfather, then my grandfather and then his brother who donated it upon getting the FC.

That photo brings back memories thanks David. It was a daily driver until he purchased the FC and the car was a regular, filling up at our petrol station and created lots of admiring attention.
