The third was probably '61, maybe 62. Love the BP sign with Bob Dyer on it.
Notice how many of the cars had stripe kits on them. I think these were more popular in QLD than anywhere else, a number of surviving FEs with Tilli kits came from there.

The thing i find interesting especialy re QLD coastal areas is the high number of Austin,Morris etc. Granted there a lot of Holdens as well but in comparision to other states there are a lot of english cars, keeping in mind that it is a long period after WW11 and the Holden saturation and popularity are at their highest yet still a lot of english vehicles as we all know noticibly slower,smaller and underpowered than the Holdens and later Fords of the era.
Just my view Brett Title: Re: Road Trip circa 1960 Post by: zulu on July 31, 2010, 12:20:49 PM Great footage, spent some time at the site, Brett, thats all there was around where I grew up, Holdens, pommy stuff, VW's.
Yeah, go the stripe kits, very flash! |
