Vintage Cars: Identify car and year, george johnstone, ford model t
Question
johnstone car
We are trying to identify the car in the attachment. Taken at the home of George Johnstone (Of Mutiny on the Bounty fame)at Georges Hall in Sydney Australia. The car appears to be brand new as there has been no mud under the guards.
Can anybody help?
AnswerHmm, He died in 1823 so I doubt that he drove it! The first auto was placed on the road in 1885. ( MERCEDES!) If I had to guess I would say one of three , (1) a 1923-27 Flint B-40 Touring (the wheels are throwing me off as most were steel by this time) (2)1925 'Bordelaise' Ford Model T torpedo, and although most had wood sides some had steel.
or (3) 1919 Ford Model T Touring Car
Let me know what you find out.
Happy Motoring
Ron
