Cars We Used to Drive, Don Loffler, well-known
Holden author, reveals his lifelong interest in all makes of cars on
Australian roads in the years 1946 to 1966.Don Loffler has assembled
a remarkable collection of 280 colour slides and black-and-white
photographs of owners and their cars, from Austin to Zeta. Makes
like Morris, Vanguard, Wolseley, Oldsmobile and Hudson, which have
long since disappeared from the new car scene, were once household
names, with owners making sure their favoured make was included in a
photograph of a beautiful Australian scene.The images record the
social history of an era very different from today, when people were
content to sit on travelling rugs by the roadside to enjoy a picnic
lunch brought from home, perhaps with the addition of sausages and
chops cooked over a small open fire. Caravan holidays were also
popular at a time when motels were not yet in vogue.
Older readers can be assured of a great nostalgia trip into times
they remember, while younger people will gain an insight into what
it was like living in those times.
A perfect gift from the popular author of the Holden cars
series, also published by Wakefield Press.
Aimed at car-lovers and the nostalgia
market
.Don Loffler, much to the surprise of many, is not the son of a
Holden dealer. He has never been a Holden factory employee, nor has
he ever worked in the motor trade. He is a former German, Latin and
Chemistry teacher, who in his retirement has the luxury of writing
books on his lifetime interest in early model Holden cars, their
history and the social setting into which they arrived.
