Clubs representing the ‘orphans’ of the American motor industry – cars outside of Chrysler, Ford and GM – came together under the American Independents banner on 14 July.
The annual show was held at the historic Linwood House in Sydney where, at various times, both Studebakers and Ramblers were assembled.
Two of the stars were owned by David McCredie, who brought his 1929 Packard 633 roadster, which had featured in The Great Gatsby, and his twin-cylinder 1912 Maxwell.
The latter (main pic) had just completed a 4000km drive, organised by the Veteran Car Club of Australia, to commemorate the first west-to-east crossing of the country by car in 1912.
Various other Packards, Hudsons and Studebakers parked around the grounds along with a 1927 Franklin that proudly displayed it’s steam engine for all.
