The Austin A35 was introduced in 1956 replacing the very similar A30 - the saloon available until 1959. This example is an A5S four door saloon - one of almost 29000 produced - compared to over 100000 two door A25S two door saloons. The A35 improved on the A30, in several ways, including electric front and rear indicator lighs, and a much larger back window. It had the same 948cc as fitted to a number of contemporaneous models, such as the Austin-Healey Sprite and the Morris Minor 1000. This nice left hand drive example resides on the island of Crete.
Race-ready 1956 Austin-Healey 100 BN2 (2660 cc). Registered January 1956. #79. Photographed at Silverstone Classics 2022.
1956 Chevrolet 3100 (5700cc registered January 1956). There were three main variants of the Chevrolet Advance Design light/medium pick-up truck, the 1/2 ton 3100; the 3/4 ton 3600 and the 1 ton 3800. The 3100 was in production between 1947 and 1957. And it's an absolute classic. Once the workhorse of rural America, now more likely a rock 'n' roll machine / hot rod / lowrider.
