Recently,we found this old pic,and were wondering what the car on the right is?
We have no idea,maybe someone on here knows?
Taken Nigeria,Christmas,1956.
The Series 1 would have been six months old,at that time.

55ish Chev. Probably Bel Air. Probably just as new as the Series.
Notice the resemblance to the FC Holden?
I wuz gunna say the same thing (almost).
I'm surprised you didn't recognise it Paul, they were pretty iconic to young fellas of our vintage.
A bit before my time,maybe i look old[bawl][biggrin]Quote:

Just the way it was in the day.
I was interested in ALL cars as a kid. Less so American cars, but only because I didn't see many. Family had MGs, Daimlers, Rollers and Bentleys. No, we weren't rich, but my "uncle" was. Mates had Holdens, so I had to become a Ford man. Wouldn't have cared a jot for LR if it hadn't been for the Army.Quote:

A Chevy of that era, in good condition, would be worth more than my L322 - a lot more.
Or maybe you led a sheltered life on Straddie. [tonguewink]Quote:
