Antique & Classic Cars Blog

A friend of mine just got back from Australia. Well, I say he got back, but not back here. He lives in Singapore. Anyway, he and his son Hayden went Down Under and captured some cool car photos on their trip.

For anyone who hasn’t been where toilets flush backwards, there are interesting car species to be seen on the opposite side of the equator. The first blower Bentley produced is obviously not a street car, but most of them are.

An interesting blend of American model name and Aussie approach is the 6-cylinder Hemi Charger with 3 carbs. It’s badged Valiant, so maybe a hi-po southern hemi(sphere) version of our mild family grocery getter.

Some interesting wagons and a couple aquatic-toy carriers round out the mix. Enjoy.

If anyone wants to ID any of these creations, or share a story, you’re always welcome.
