Women changing a tyre on a truck during World War II 1939

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  July 1940 in Brisbane alone there were six different organisations providing women with war-related training, the largest of which was the Queensland-based Women's National Emergency Legion. The federal government and military did not initially support women being trained to serve in the armed forces, however, and these organisations were not taken seriously by the general public. Many of these women were trained to undertake skilled work in traditionally male occupations in order to free servicemen for operational service. Women were also encouraged to work in industry and volunteer for air raid precautions duties or clubs for Australian and Allied servicemen. The female branches of the military were disbanded after the war. Source: www.wikiwand.com/en/Australian_women_during_World_War_II

Streamlined caravan on an Oldsmobile chassis, Sandgate, Brisbane, 1936

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  1937 was a transition year for Oldsmobile and that was certainly the case here in Australia for the locally assembled models. There were several key changes that took place in 1937, the most significant being a shift from timber-framed bodies to an all-steel structure. The Holden Body plant at Woodville, South Australia also transitioned to an all-steel turret top on Sedan & Sloper Coupe's to follow what Fisher Body had introduced in 1935 in the U.S. for the G.M. range there. Detroit executives apparently underestimated GM-H, they didn't initially believe that the Holden plant was capable of producing the All Steel Turret and was quite surprised when Laurence Hartnett - Managing Director of G.M-H confirmed that not only could the Holden Body plant produce the all-steel turret top, but they had been doing so for the Chrysler, Dodge, De Soto & Plymouth bodies that Holden's had built throughout 1936 for the Chrysler Corporation.
