May not be right in the background but this little C15A found a job after the war with Central Motors the General Motors Holden garage in Stanthorpe, Queensland.

Hi Rick,
That photo must have been taken from 1951 onwards, due to the Austin Loadstar parked beside it.

regards, Richard

I like the old style sign writing on the Chev and also the buildings....a pity you don't see that too often anymore these days.

I don't think that the C15 in Rick's post #710 is a C15A. It looks to be riding too low, particularly at the front. My first thought was that the front LH wheel was in a bit of a dip but that would have proportionally lifted the rear RH corner which hasn't happened. I can't make out enough detail of the hub but could convince myself that the webs of the non-driven hub are visible (just !).

I'm with you, David. My mistake, it is a C15 4x2. I had to blow up the photo to see the webs on the front hub. Thanks.

As its a shot from the rear of the vehicles this one showing an RNZAF Support Unit moving between islands in WW2 SW Pacific will test your vehicle recognition skills.
