Old Cars Part 2

More of the vehicles. I skipped pictures of the Ferraris and the 2 older vets. The black Austin is from 1919. Its chassis was licensed to serveral makers. It was also used as a truck chassis especially in England. Including BMW. The black box over the engine is the fuel tank, gravity feed, a reason for the updraft carb. The stick on the tank is the dipstick fuel guage.

Something for your sunnyday picnic


You can Gogo with these two... just not quickly


The massive power plant


This Austin was used for several years and the chassis was made under license to several companies


1928 BMW, Autin chassis. The black box over the engine is the fuel tank, gravity feed, a reason for the updraft carb.


Was a video of the 1928 BMW driving off but it doesn't seem to copy.


Couldn't find the mark for this one.

But I'm scratching my head over the first one. It looks like there's something photoshopped to cover up part of it, for some reason.

It is a leather covered suitcase. There were two similar cars with the suitcases on the rack. Another one the suitcase was a picnic set. It held service for two.
