    Three more Sam Hood photos of his and his wife's car. The Willys in a flooded street; in Centennial Park; the photo of his wife with her hand on the ornament must be from their road trip to Adelaide (see other photos posted on previous page) State Library of New South Wales (Sam Hood, 1872-1953) SLNSW_FL1336211.jpg SLNSW_FL1483181.jpg SLNSW_FL1312466.jpg

    I just noticed that the Centennial Park image has been reversed. Other photos of the Hood Willys show the front number plate on the driver's side of the car and in this image it's on the other side; also, he probably would have parked his car, before taking the photo, on the left side of the road here in Oz - and the car approaching from behind is on the wrong side ...
