Default Tasmania 1950's cars

Lots of Mk 1 Consuls or Zephyrs . Spot the unusual Hillman convertible in the front row. Must be post 1953 going by the number plates.

G'day Mike,
Are we able to use this photo in the Gippsland Historical Automobile Club Inc. newsletter? It is quite a good photo from post 1954. Any idea where it was taken in Tas?
thanks Rick.

I have a larger, clearer version of that photo , more suitable for printing.. I will email it to you . Not sure of your email ?

It was taken at Cygnet during the apple festival. I know that area well, I lived there in the mid 1970's , I was a student at a Hobart college and we had a early 50's Anglia car. Cygnet is South of Hobart , in the Huon Valley district, apple orchards galore, before the industry went bust due to the European common market thing , the Brits ditched us for European sourced fruit. Did you spot the 39/40 Ford utility ?
