Australia Day Car Display (Warning Lots of Pics)

[Gra]

Ok Today being Australia, I went to my usual Australia Day Car display in Kings Domain, here in Melbourne. Here are some of the cars, thought you guys might be interested.

he first two photos are the reason I was there.

#1 "the mistress" herself
#2 Four Graham Paiges in a row, A sight not often seen

Now for some pics for Lingin. I only took two it seems, Both of 1929 Century Sixes.

The first a coupe, the second a four door sedan. Lingin, there was a 22/23 8 Cylinder, roadster there, but didn't get a photo:doh:

More

#1 Early 20's Buick Master Tourer
#2 1928 Oldsmobile. This was a Fresh restoration. The side windows in this are actually glass. It was a rare option in the period (We have a set somewhere, but have never restored them)
#3 1929 Chrysler sedan, This car was for sale for about 20K. Was a nicely restored car

#1 Aston Martin
#2 Austin Atlantic Convertible
#3 1956 Thunderbird. This I think was the prettiest T bird ever made.

Anyone for a nice set of Bristols........

#1 and #2 are Bristol 400's (A virtual Copy of the pre war BMW, They knocked back the plans to build the beetle for the plans for the BMW)
#3 is a Bristol 401

I also have a Buick similar to the one in the pic, but not in quite as good nick.
A fairly spectacular collection by the look of the photos.
I took delivery of a six wheel drive Pinzgauer, circa 1976 on Thursday:U:U.Great fun, goes almost anywhere.Not clever enough to post photos.:q:q
Nice Bristols!!:wink::wink:

Yet more.......

#1 A Mid 30's Buick Straight 8 Sedan
#2 A Late 50's Buick Convertible (Skylark I think)
#3 Chev 4. This is straight out of the barn. The headlight lens's and the roof had been replaced, but the rest was as it drove out of the barn
#4 1928 Chrysler Charabanc. The original people mover:2tsup:

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

#2 1928 DeSoto Coupe. This one is for sale for 18K

#3 Jaguar Mk 2

#4 Jaguar XK140 Coupe

#5 1935 Lincoln V12 Coupe. I don't want the fuel bill for this. This was imported in the 90's and the guy that imported, reported the best fuel economy(?) was about 5MPG (That's the best he got from it:oo:......), but it went like .........

#1 Mercedes 300 Limo (isn't someone here restoring one of these)

#2 and #3 Mercedes Gullwing (Couldn't get close to this to get a good shot)

#4 Morris 840. My fathers first car was one of these
