Another Aust. day parade in Brisbane during the 1950s, the chap sitting up high operating the trailer brakes would have had a nice view of the proceedings.
The wheels look rather odd ..more like as fitted to tipper variants. Plenty of Holden cars to be seen in the background of these pics. The Humber pic is dated 1961 .... looks to be a correct date going by the FB/EK Holdens in the background

The GMC CCKW 72219 pictured in the 1956 Brisbane parade was declared for the disposal list on 27/10 1965
The Chevy No. 8 gun tractor 72567 was declared for disposal on 31/3 1960 at 1BOD. Another example of the same type went to the P.M.G. ( Post Master General ) A few others were sold back to GM-H. Another one, 72562 lasted until being put on the disposal list in 1964.
