    Looking at the thumbnail I thought 'no that's a Plymouth' but it turns out to be a badge engineered export Dodge D12

    [​IMG]

    The Canada Cycle Trading co handled the badge engineered Dodges in oz and took about 6 months to hit the market after the Plymouths in 39.
    This is what the oz TJ Richards coupe looks like, same one year only turret as my Plymouth ute...

    Jimi that reminds me of a short steep hill in Sydney and a guy describing the chaos it used to cause to me as we were driving up it. It was possible to charge this one forwards but of course not everyone made it, add to that those reversing up and doing multipoint turns and you get the picture. This guy had worked at the government motor garage near the foot of the hill and said it always made great lunchtime entertainment :D

    Ehdubya, THAT is a great story, man! To me, a first-hand story is the other side of the coin that goes with good pix. But, it's the STORIES that fade away, worse than the pictures, you know? Old folk pass away, and with them go the stories!

    And this pic of Big Lizzie with TWO steam traction engines onboard really shows what a big, powerful brute she was! (At first, I missed the guy and the bike!!! LOL) Kinda hard to believe something like this could run with tracks being laid!

    T-Head, did this make it off the drawing board? Any background facts about it? (I take it, that's French?)

    Not a Packard, but what? I think I've seen that before, and possibly EG identified it as a Buick.

    Another T speedster, but unlike any other I've seen. This is pretty stylish compared to some of the bare bones ones.

    They are sure celebrating something at the House of David (probably no smoking there).
