Another pre war poster

[Bob Culver]

According to my late father Brit cars in and of the 20s and early 30s were regarded with some derision. the Yanks Did not crawl up modest hills in low gears. Even the slower ones like the Model T managed it in top. Photos of rural towns feature inevitable Mdel T and often no other unless some event drawing wealthy station holders in their Buicks.
Non colonialists may be interested in the post war Holden, also popular here. It had room and performance to at least match a Mk1 Zephyr but was much less expensive. Very spartan but did not devour axle shafts.
