I Think I Know What You're Thinking...

 

"That rather looks like an Oldsmobile Curved Dash, driving along Brighton beachfront."

And you're probably right.

BL749 is a 1902 Oldsmobile, and does appear to be a regular on the London to Brighton run.

No info on this slide, but looks like the early 1980's.

At the 1991 Antique Car Run

 

It appears to me like this is 1991's New London to New Brighton  Antique Car Run, and you won't convince me otherwise.

Glad to say that the run is still ongoing. (As in, it's still run annually, not that some of the 1991 cars are still to get to the finish line.)

Vintage Pick-Up and a....

Gotta admit, that's a nice looking old pick-up. No info, but the number plate suggests that it might be a 1930's model something.

I'm sure a vintage auto enthusiast could well me.

However, beside it is a drooping plank, which I suspect is a Benson B-8 Gyrocopter.  Much more interesting.

One for you Milk Transport fans out there.

 

There's bound to be an internet discussion group for vintage french milk tanker vehicles...

... but No !   That would be an error, as a simple use of Alta Vista (or later search engine) reveals that Cremerie des Trois Rivieres is a Canadian company.

Heavens. Who'd have thunk it.

Bonus - The creamery is now closed, but the name lives on as an Ice Cream Shop and  Pest Control Service.  Is it just me or is that a strange pairing of businesses?

Friday Fixer-Upper


From the era of "American Graffiti", this looks like an ideal restoration or Hot-Rod project for the keen enthusiast.

Back in the days when there wasn't a mess of wiring or electrics to complicate the rebuild.
