A Hills Hoist and a battered Austin A40… can’t get much more Aussie than that!
Albert Sellaman replied
Thanks for stopping by Gary.
You’ll notice that the Hills Hoist even has a clothes-peg compartment…..can’t get better than that!
The reason I took this pic is because we had just painted by hand all the car bright blue and put advertising on all the doors and boot and flames coming off the front fenders.

Love this old beauty. At least, it was a beauty at one time. . . Guess it ran great!
May I recommend some Groups for this good old pic?
Classic Cars Worldwide
- Blast from the Past -Days Gone By- Nostalgic Art and Photography -Queensland- Creative Spirits of Queensland -I’m not sure every last one of these accepts photos, my list’s long and my memory’s short.
But here they are for what they’re worth—and to me, they’re worth a lot!

Thanks Dayonda for the tips on the extra groups…I entered this pic in 3 of them.
The photo was taken in Sydney so I could not enter the last 2 groups.
