The Monarch Laundry van was a custom build by Duncan and Fraser in Adelaide. It was built on a used chassis by the look of the front mudguard. Note the special rear mudguards and the way they are connected to the running boards. I scaled up drawings from that photograph to reproduce the body for my Haighs Chocolates van.

Talk to me about that top pic. Those springs don’t look deflected at all.
Forget everything you thought you knew.

Occupants in the 1915 sedan (first photo) are vaudevillians Eddie Foy, Sr., his wife and his kids "The Seven Little Foys."

#4 made me smile. That map probably only has 3 roads marked on it. And on the mileage selector chart, for a lot of the destinations, it probably says: "You can't get there from here!"

I have an early touring book that has 2 roads, and a cow marked on it. Wonder what they did when the cow died?
