My Father's Cars

Amongst the things that my father (Barrie Robert Smith 1934-2014), entrusted to me was a little gem of a list of the cars that he owned, and when:
  • 1953 - Austin A40 Ute
  • 1956 - Commer Ute
  • 1958 - Holden FC Panel Van
  • 1959 - J-Model Vauxhall Sedan
  • 1956 (???) - Holden FJ Panel Van
  • 1963 - Ford Falcon Station Wagon
  • 1964 - EH Holden Station Wagon
  • 1968 - Fairmont Station Wagon
  • 1973 - Volvo 144 Sedan
  • 1976 - Volvo 244 Sedan
  • 1986 - Toyota Corona Sedan
  • 2000 - Toyota Corolla (the only one he purchased brand new)
For some of the vehicles I have photos, and if I come across his own car I will exchange, but for others they are just similar vehicles off the internet.
