Two more early family cars
Pictures below are of my fathers first new Post War car (I believe it was the first New car he had ever bought) it was a 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan Coupe powered by a 337cu.in. flat head V8 (same engine as F-8 Ford Truck, with a different cam). This picture was probably taken winter of 51 or 52 that’s me in the back seat. The second picture is of the first car I bought a 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan Town Sedan which I bought in 1969 while in college, I was still driving the families Coupe but the salt on the roads of northern climes had taken a toll on the frame. So when the Town Sedan with only 25,000 miles came along I bought it. The car had been used as a “Summer” car on an estate in New Hampshire. The picture shown was taken in the spring of 1972 at a friends wedding.
I still have the engine out of the Lincoln my father bought in 1949 which has been extensively hot rodded. But what’s probably more important I still have the Town Sedan I bought, it is has been sitting in the back corner of the garage since 1975. Now that I have all three of my CMPs on the road, I hope to move the Lincoln into my restoration bay and start working on it this winter.

Lincolns
Is the miniature Hoppalong Cassidy you Phil ? Talking of Lincolns .. In the early 80's a crazy KIWI friend of mine had to move his 1946 Lincoln continental convertible down to Port Melbourne for shipping to NZ .. He had bought it in 1967 . The car was original.. with its V12 side valve motor still fitted. I drove him down to Seaford where it sat in somebody's back yard.. it was unregistered . This was a real HOLLYWOOD movie star flashy car .. maroon colour with a cover on the spare wheel in the boot lid... He got in it and I followed him to Bentleigh . The looks at the traffic lights I cannot describe.. as it was tatty looking with a dirty white top on it. It was running on about 8 cylinders and the brakes had gone west too. We squeezed it onto a tandem trailer .... hooked it behind his rusty AP5 Valiant ute ! The Valiant was almost scraping the ground. We made a midnight dash to the docks and managed to unload it ....never again.

Cars
Behold, the beauty of an Australian designed 1973 Falcon
xa.jpg I love this car, Mum & Dad bought it in 1973 when I was 5... I remember Dad arriving home with it. 302 Cleveland C4. I still own it & it is the next project after the F15. Just wait 'till I dig up photos of my Grandfathers post-F15 cars!
