Some even make a box saloon look small

Peter - can I post those pictures on my facebook page with a credit to you? The Austin is the one in scale with the garage...

It can sometimes depend on perspective. Here the Dodge Brothers tourer doesn't look quite as big compared with Trundles as it really is.

I'm reminded of Father Ted explaining the the ' tiny cows were "far away Dougal" '

A comparison indicates that it doesn't have to be modern to be bigger, this is a Crossley Sporting coupe.

This was 7 years ago. It is now a running chassis but the body is beyond hope. Not many of these in western Canada. Gord

The trailer was designed to town an Alfa Giulia, does a sterling job of towing the 7's

RE: We sometimes forget just how small they really are - gord - 01-10-2020
I'd love to keep it intact, Tony, but the pockets are too shallow. I've been a mechanic all my life, but not a metal fabricator. I am also a full time care giver to my wife who has Alzheimer's. I'm surprised I've come this far on the chassis. I have the history of the car from 1947. Lots of photos but not for this thread. Gord
