Same colour as mine!

Nice. It's a shame the leather interior bits are so expensive. We have two here that could be retrimmed. To do it in leather would be > $5000 :(

Those central heating ducts in the front undertray look very familiar. I wonder where I have seen that car before :)

Ford Edsel is worthy of these pages.

I envy anyone who has one. That is a really nice colour. Funny that coincidence, he's currently doing a job for a bloke who owns a series 1.

I wouldn't say it was a failure but they did eventually go broke. These cars were amazing for their time. They had features like headlights that turned with the steering. The term "It's a Duesy" for anything that was great and inovative came from the Duesenberg.

My brother is in Toowoomba. a fair way from you. He's way too docile for that savage a bite. I'll ask him what he reckons.

Then there was the Southern Cross car. Built in very small numbers in the early thirties, it was doomed when the head of the company (Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith) disappeared in the Bay of Bengal.

Of unitary construction, with the body made of moulded plywood. It was equipped with a horizontally opposed four cylinder engine.

No examples now exist, and I can find no pictures.
