My father had it for a few years as a work in progress.He eventually sold it & it was sent back to England & has been restored,we still have the engine & chassis no's etc somewhere if i can find them.



This was also his pride & joy,taken when new,not quite vintage,but still in the family today

Wheels are an interesting modification. Look like '37 Ford or similar. Wonder why? Knock off wires probably needed an expensive rebuild and whatever was handy were fitted. What was it, 3 litre or 4 1/2?

That would depend on who you talk to, I have always been under the impression that Vintage was pre 1930. Then there are lots of other categories, eg, veteran, pre war, post war, classic and modern but I have no idea what years they go against or whether they are static or change as the years progress. Veteran is before vintage though.

Vintage is a vehicle built before 1/1/31. Veteran is one built before 1/1/20.
There is also a classification used by mainly the more toffee nosed traditional vintage sports car clubs, "Post-vintage Thoroughbred", which are makes/models accepted as such by the club concerned, and are almost always pre WWII. The Classic Car Club of America declares the make/model as a classic car for their purposes.

Anything else is just an old car.

The Veteran Car Club of Qld. does not like "old American bangers" which was the phrase used to me by one of their prominent and long serving members.

This is a strange attitude given that some of the Brit and Euro stuff they value highly could not have driven out of sight in a day, two tons of car and a two litre four cylinder engine, and could not have reliably done a day's work on outback service such as mail and passenger services.

The vehicles that survived this work and were highly thought of in the outback were Dodge, Buick, Hudson, Cadillac, Packard, Studebaker, Chrysler, and earlier the Ford T and Overland.

Not technically vintage, but has been in the family for nearly 30 years.
