A selection of wheels…
Indian motorbike.
About a mid 1970s Holden Kingswood wheel on a
GTS model…read ‘souped up’…bigger engine etc.
The Torana was a small car of the 1960s and early 1970s.
This one was probably the model after my first Torana.
If you have ever seen the Bathurst 500 (miles), now 1000 (km),
car race you will know that this little car won
many of the 60s and 70s races at Bathurst, NSW.
A 2014 VF Holden Commodore wheel.
I have enlarge this image so that I could read the badge on the front
of this car.
Although I have not seen this one in action,
I now believe it a USA car, but built in Germany.
It is an amphibious car and was made in the early to mid 60s.
Google ‘ampficar’
The Wikipedia article complete with images

Red cars go 5% faster in Australia…

Another 2014 VF Holden Commodore wheel.
I am also calling this a wheel…it belongs to
General Motors Holden…
an Australian made car…only for the nest few years though.

I’ve never see a car like the one you think might be from the US, but I agree that red cars often go faster than other ones…and the highway patrol notices it, too. My dad had an Indian motorcycle when he was growing up, so I enjoyed that in particular.

Hi Janet,
I have just looked at photo again and Googled ‘ampficar’ (badge on car). Seems like Wikipedia has the answers. Not a US vehicle but a Product of Germany. And my guess work on the its date of manufacture was not far off. 🙂 However, your were correct….and I was not correct….again. :_( Just MGW is not around at the moment 🙂 Thank you.
