Brimen, is this TJ Richards? from Australia? Any idea of what make cars? The roadster on the left has a very interesting shape at the rear, strange trunk are. IS it imagination or does it look as though the passenger sits about 8 inches behind the driver?

 

they are RHD so It would be the driver sitting behind the passenger.
Very interesting shots.

From Woodstock to SNL, could there be two more original
people? They gave us entertainment AND laughs -- always.
The stuff these guys did is stuff we keep bringing up and
talking about with family and friends. If I could achieve
being remembered by folks to just that degree, I'd think I
had lived a life ... AND could live forever! Joe and John
will not be forgotten.



This special photo is THANKS to OffKeyWeb (JewsforBlues)! THANKS!

The home of the Australian Six.




http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Australian_six_automobile.jpg



"....... between 1918 and 1925, Australian Motors Ltd had reputedly produced some 500 Australian Six automobiles in Sydney.

The entrepreneur behind the venture was Frederick Hugh Gordon who organised for car parts to be bought from America and shipped to Australia for assembly together with parts made locally. The company that began assembly of the Australian Six was F H Gordon & Co Ltd, which later merged with Australian Motors Ltd. This company was succeeded by Australian Six Motors Ltd and finally Harkness & Hillier Ltd.

The early Australian Six cars were assembled at Fred Gordon's workshop and service station in McLauglin Avenue, Rushcutters Bay. Early in 1920 a large factory was established at Parramatta Road, Ashfield, the largest plant of its kind in Australasia containing the latest machinery. It was claimed that every part of the car that could be made locally and economically was made on the premises from Australian materials and by Australian labour, with returned soldiers given preference in the 200-strong workforce. The company's motto was 'Made in Australia, by Australians, for Australia'.

The cars built at Ashfield had distinctive 'Rolls Royce' style Grecian-shaped radiators made in Australia. Six different body styles were available, including 8-seat special service cars. These vehicles were popular as hire cars; Rolf's Hire Car Co offered Sydneysiders a day's motoring from Katoomba station to the Jenolan Caves including a souvenir photograph in the Australian Six taken outside Hartley Court House.

I always wonder what these young ladies and the other young ladies at the Beatles concerts think today when they see these photos!

 

Funny, I only cup my ears and scream when I DON'T like the music...............
