    What a lot of red cars!
  • Joefuz said:
    For once, I can indentify some of the cars here!
  • Joefuz said:
    I can see 3 Austin Montegos, 4 Vauxhall Novas, an Astramax van, 2 Ford Escorts (one might be an XR3i), a Renault Traffic van, an RUC Tangi Landrover, a Ford Sierra, a Toyota Litace, a Mitsubishi Colt, a C Class Mercedes, I think the nose of an Austin Mini Mastro, a Transit van, a Renault 5, a Renault 4 van, a Suzuki Swift, 2 Fiat Pandas and a Nissan Bluebird. The dark grey tail on the right foreground might be a Ford Cortina. The blue car behind the Transit van might be a Peugeot estate. The red car behind the Astramax van might be a Ford Sierra (face lift version, so newer than the one on the other side of the road. The blue car parked in the middle 3rd along might be a 4th Montego. The car being twoed by the recovery truck looks to be an old mercedes. The green car in the foreground I think is a Triumph.

    Nearly sure it's a Liteace, not a Hiace. Liteace - www.flickr.com/photos/55720630@N06/7099857393/ Hiace - www.flickr.com/photos/46637666@N07/6689775637/

    Found...the miracles of Trove!...

    trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/229404015/24530871 - a cropped version of this pic appeared in the Sun on 21st July, 1937 (see photo on 2nd page of link)...the pic was evidently taken earlier that day...at the time the Manly ferries weren't running due to rough seas...

    'Traffic Hold-Up...The city end of the Harbor Bridge during the peak of the traffic this morning. At one stage the queue stretched back to the middle of the Bridge, and motorists had to wait 15 minutes to pass through the toll-gates. Traffic was exceptionally heavy owing to the Manly ferries being stopped.'

    covid convict thanks - looks like the info on the original neg sleeves might be incorrect.

    State Library of New South Wales The pic also appeared in Pix on 17th August, 1940, in an article on petrol rationing...I've found that in the 19th and earlier 20th century the various newspapers and magazines tended to recycle their photos quite a bit...particularly if they had a good one...
