Hi

I'm preparing another load of photos to put on the main site, but I'm not sure of the identity of these cars - any ideas??

Photo No. 67/68: Bristol? Lea Francis? Healey??



Make of this truck in Photo 77?


Model of V8 Ford shown here in Photo 19?


thanks!

ahhhh thanks for that, I've found out that the top one is a Lea Francis after all! just the truck remains unidentified, I suspect it might even be French or similar..?

cheers, Rick

I'm not sure what the car with the gal and headlites is but the hot rodders over here have been using the bullet headlamps for years.

Johno has it correct!
Mid 20's Packard "8" but I can't seem to run down that style of headlamp on any Packards.
Wonder if it was changed from another vehicle or an aftermarket item. I've seen that style lamp used on a few hot rods here.

Looks like a Ruxton, a very upmarket American car with FWD from around 1929/30. Are they the "Woodlite" headlamps or something similar?

See where you're coming from with the Ruxton, although the lamps are a bit circular on the car shown here (didn't the Ruxton have a very pronounced droop to the headlamp?) and I think the grille is a different shape.
