Looking at the enlarged photo again, it appears just under the word "dept" in the parts department is a 37 ??? Coupe Ute possibly with its back to us????


Also notice in a few of them the number of Sedan Deliveries too!!!!

Then look for the + and - buttons top left and click the + to zoom in. Keep clicking until it stops zooming then "grab" the image to move the phaetons into view.

Mart .....These are great! It is interesting in that I believe ALL of the coupes are Club Coupes. I counted only three Standard '37s, noted by lack of chrome strip along bottom of running board plus painted windshield frame. I also see that MOST of the '37s have the 85 horse "V8" spear on the grill. Does anyone know if we can assume the "non-V8 speared" cars were V8-60s? Did anyone notice the one Willys sedan in the shop picture? DD

I didn't spot the Willys but did spot some sort of non-Ford interloper.

There is a white 1936 Dodge (third car beyond the Willys) must be what you're talking about. You can see the Dodge "RAM" on top of the radiator shell if ya squint real hard...extreme bottom, right corner of pic below. Cool pictures, for sure. DD

I'm a machinist so, I enjoyed seeing the line shaft, drill press and the head stock of a lathe but, I was also a mechanic and I can't help but notice, the lack of (as in no tool boxes at all, anywhere) personal tool boxes. What's up with that?

Definately Australian and not NZ. The au in Marts link is a give away plus the panel with Adelaide sign written and SA number plates would indicate a dealership in Adelaide South Australia. There is also an Aussie only made "uterus" there also. Thanks for posting Mart.
