History Photos taken before WW2 - history in black and white

Part history of Rolls Royce Silver Ghost - chassis 1958 - in Australia:





"In 1916 the car came to Australia, and its first Australian owner was a Mr J .H. Johnston of Melbourne. Norman Falkiner of Echuca became the second owner in 1919, selling the car to L. Whyte of Geelong. In 1922 it was again sold to John A.C. Blair, a solicitor, of 11 Dendy St, Brighton, Melbourne. The photo on the left was supplied to us many years ago by the grandson of Mr Blair, it was taken in the mid 1920's and is perhaps, the oldest picture of the car in Australia."
