President’s Report
Welcome to our first newsletter for 2018. I trust you have been touring about in your collectable vehicles.
I would like to relate to you three instances where our collectable car has been like keys to another world.
We often go for a drive in the evening for a picnic/BBQ at one the many local picnic areas. Driving a collectable
car gives you the opportunity to speak with the many people who will come, look and even photograph your
vehicle. We recently spoke with a couple of French tourists who were sitting on a jetty at one of the lakes close
to Cobden. We were all enjoying the sunset and the tranquillity of the night, a far cry from the hustle and bustle
of Melbourne where they were on working visas. We got a glimpse of France by talking to them.
Our collectable cars really are a key to another world which we can unlock if we want to.
Recently our club had a run to Cobden lake for morning tea then Warrnambool car museum followed by lunch
in the botanic gardens. It was very pleasant looking over Cobden lake watching the ducks go about their
business. Then we went (via some back roads) to the new partially complete Warrnambool Motor Museum.
We saw a number of vehicles not displayed around this area before. The standard of vehicles was outstanding
and well displayed. The range of vehicles took in vintage to modern cars, racing cars, motor bikes and even a
traction engine. Our lunch was in the botanic gardens amongst big old trees, again with a pond and water birds.
The participants shared old stories, reflections and of course car memories. Here we enjoyed some of our local
area attractions which we often pass by.
The third way that collectable cars can enhance our lives is through the interactions we have with other like-
minded car enthusiasts who are willing to share knowledge and even spare parts. Recently we purchased a
Citroen 11BL using only photos to make our decision as it was a long drive away. When we went to pick it up
the owner came out all apologetic as he had taken it for a last drive and had hit a pothole and damaged the
front mudguard. I didn't know why this would have happened or if I had a problem that needed fixing. I knew
of two locals (both through car club) who were very involved with Citroens and knowledgeable about their
workings. One came and looked at the car, the result, the front end was set up all wrong and needed to be
pulled apart and reassembled. This looked a daunting task to me but he offered his tools and time. It took about
30minutes to reassemble and adjust to factory specifications. On the second drive in the Citroen I noticed a
strange rumbling noise. The wheel nuts on one wheel had come loose and one nut was stripped. When we
returned home I checked the rest, more than half could not be tightened securely. The Citroen wheel nuts have
a flange on them and I couldn't find them anywhere. I was quizzing the second Citroen local about the wheel
nut problem his reply "I have a bucket full of them, how many do you want?" I now have a safe drivable car.
The information and parts were with 60km of home for a rare collectable car. By going to club functions, I had
met these Citroen locals; you never know when you may need your car enthusiast friends.
Anyway, enough ramblings from me. Keep driving safely and enjoy your vehicle during the good weather,
check the calendar of events and come along to our next event.
Cheers
Vince Thorne

THE AUTOMOBILE – THROUGH THE YEARS
The early history of the automobile can be divided into a number of eras, based on the prevalent means
of propulsion. Later periods were defined by trends in exterior styling, size, and utility preferences.
VETERAN ERA: The first production of automobiles was by Karl Benz in 1888 in Germany and, under license from Benz, in France by Emile Roger. There were numerous others, including tricycle builders Rudolf Egg, Edward Butler, and Léon Bollée. Throughout the veteran car era, the automobile was seen more as a novelty than as a genuinely useful device. Breakdowns were frequent, fuel was difficult to obtain, roads suitable for traveling were scarce, and rapid innovation meant that a year-old car was nearly worthless. BRASS OR EDWARDIAN ERA: This period lasted from roughly 1905 through to 1914 and the beginning of World War I. It is generally referred to as the Edwardian era, but in the United States is often known as the Brass era from the widespread use of brass in vehicles during this time. VINTAGE ERA: The vintage era lasted from the end of World War I (1918), through to the Wall Street Crash at the end of 1929. During this period the front-engined car came to dominate with closed bodies and standardised controls becoming the norm. In 1919, 90% of cars sold were open; by 1929, 90% were closed. Examples of period vehicles: • 1922 –1939 Austin 7 — one of the most widely copied vehicles ever, serving as a template for cars around
the world, from BMW to Nissan. • 1922 –1931 Lancia Lambda — very advanced car for the time, first car to feature a load
bearing monocoque and independent front suspension. • 1924 –1929 Bugatti Type 35 — one of the most successful racing cars of all time, with over 1,000 victories in
five years. • 1925 –1928 Hanomag 2 / 10 PS — early example of ponton (car) styling. • 1927 –1931 Ford Model A (1927-1931) — after keeping the brass era Model T in production for too long,
Ford broke from the past by restarting its model series with the 1927 Model A. More than 4 million were produced, making it the best-selling model of the era. The Ford Model A was a prototype for the beginning of Soviet mass car production (GAZ A).
• 1930 Cadillac V-16 — developed at the height of the vintage era, the V16-powered Cadillac would join Bugatti's Royale as the most legendary ultra-luxury cars of the era.
PRE-WAR ERA: The pre-war part of the classic era began with the Great Depression in 1930, and ended with the recovery after World War II, commonly placed at 1946. It was in this period that integrated fenders and fully closed bodies began to dominate sales, with the new saloon/sedan body style even incorporating a trunk or boot at the rear for storage. The old open-top runabouts, phaetons, and touring cars were largely phased out by the end of the classic era as wings, running boards, and headlights were gradually integrated with the body of the car. Exemplary pre-war automobiles: • 1932 –1939 Alvis Speed 20 — the first with all-synchromesh gearbox. • 1932 –1948 Ford V-8 (Model B) — introduction of the flathead V8 in mainstream vehicles. • 1934 –1938 Tatra 77 — first serial-produced car with aero-dynamical design. • 1934 –1940 Bugatti Type 57 — a singular refined automobile for the wealthy. • 1934 –1956 Citroën Traction Avant — the first mass-produced front-wheel drive car, built
with monocoque chassis. • 1936 –1955 MG T series — sports cars. • 1938 –2003 Volkswagen Beetle — a design that was produced for over 60 years with over 20 million units
assembled in several counties. • 1936 –1939 Rolls-Royce Phantom III — V12 engine. POST-WAR ERA: A major change in automobile design since World War II was the popularity of ponton style, in which running boards were eliminated and fenders were incorporated into the body. Among the first representatives of the style were the Soviet GAZ-M20 Pobeda (1946), British Standard Vanguard (1947), United States Studebaker Champion and Kaiser (1946), as well as the low-production Czech luxury Tatra T600 Tatraplan (1946) and the Italian Cisitalia 220 sports car (1947). Notable exemplary post-war cars: • 1946 –1958 GAZ-M20 Pobeda — Soviet car with full ponton design. • 1947 –1958 Standard Vanguard — British mass-market car with full ponton design. • 1948 –1971 Morris Minor – an early post-war car exported around the world.
THE AUTOMOBILE – THROUGH THE YEARS (Cont’d)
• 1953 –1971 Chevrolet Bel Air and 1953–2002 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham – first generations were representative of tailfin design.
• 1955 –1976 Citroën DS — aerodynamic design and innovative technology, awarded third place as Car of the 20th Century.
• 1959 –2000 Mini — a radical and innovative small car that was manufactured for four decades; awarded second place as Car of the 20th Century.
• 1960 -1990 Volkswagen Brasília. • 1961 –1975 Jaguar E-type — a classic sports car design. • 1963 –1989 Porsche 911 – a sports car was awarded fifth place as Car of the 20th Century. • 1964 –present Ford Mustang — the pony car that became one of the best-selling cars of the era. • 1966–end of the 20th century Fiat 124 — an Italian car that was produced under license in many other
countries including the Soviet Union. • 1966 –1971 Subaru 1000 – one of the first Japanese built sedans using a boxer engine, front wheel drive and
introducing the "double offset joint" drive shaft to the front wheels. • 1967 NSU Ro 80 — the basic wedge profile of this design was emulated in subsequent decades, unlike its
Wankel engine. • Late 1960s-early 1980s Gurgel BR-800 / Gurgel Supermini. • 1969 Datsun 240Z — Japanese sports car. • 1980 –1988 AMC Eagle — the first mass-produced full-time all-wheel drive car.
MODERN ERA: The modern era is normally defined as the 25 years preceding the current year. The modern era has been one of increasing standardisation, platform sharing, computer-aided design, to reduce costs and development time and increasing use of electronic for both engine management and entertainment systems. Exemplary modern cars: • 1966 – present Toyota Corolla – a Japanese saloon/sedan that has become the best-selling nameplate of all
time, with over 40 million sold across 11 generations through July 2013. • 1966 – 1992 Oldsmobile Toronado – Introduced electronic anti-lock braking system, and airbag. First
modern-era American car with front wheel drive. • 1973 – present Mercedes-Benz S-Class – Seat belt pretensioner, and electronic traction control system. • 1975 – present BMW 3 Series – the 3 Series has been on Car and Driver magazine's annual Ten Best list 17
times. • 1977 – present Honda Accord saloon/sedan — a Japanese sedan that became popular in the United States. • 1983 – present Chrysler minivans – the two-box minivan design nearly pushed the station wagon out of the
market. • 1984 – present Renault Espace — first mass one-volume car of non-commercial MPV class • 1986 – present Ford Taurus — this mid-sized front-wheel drive sedan dominated the United States market
in the late-1980s. • 1997 – present Toyota Prius, launched in the Japanese market and became the best known hybrid electric
vehicle and also the world's top selling hybrid. • 1998 – present Ford Focus — one of the most popular hatchbacks and Ford's best-selling world car. • 2008 – present Tata Nano — an inexpensive rear-engined, four-passenger city car aimed primarily at the
Indian domestic market. • 2008 – 2012 Tesla Roadster — first highway-capable all-electric vehicle in serial production for sale in the
United States in the modern era. Sold about 2,500 units worldwide. • 2008 – 2013 BYD F3DM – first highway-capable series production plug-in hybrid, launched in China in
December 2008, sold over 2,300 units. • 2009 – present, Mitsubishi i-MiEV – first highway-capable series production all-electric car, launched in
Japan in July 2009 for fleet customers, and in April 2010 for retail customers. Rebadged versions of the i MiEV are sold in Europe by PSA Peugeot Citroën (PSA) as the Peugeot iOn and Citroën C-Zero.
• 2010 –present, Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt — all-electric car and plug-in hybrid correspondingly, launched in December 2010, are the world's top selling mass production vehicles of their kind. As of early December 2015, global Leaf sales totalled 200,000 units and Volt sales over 100,000.
• 2012 – present, Tesla Model S – Introduced in 2012, the Model S quickly climbed up sales. It was ranked as the world's best-selling plug-in electric vehicle in 2015. It was also named car of the century by Car and Driver.

The Tucker 48 (named after its model year) is an automobile conceived by Preston Tucker and briefly produced
in Chicago in 1948. Only 51 cars were made before the company ceased operations on March 3, 1949, due to negative
publicity initiated by the news media, a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation and a heavily publicized
stock fraud trial (in which the allegations were proven baseless and led to a full acquittal). Speculation exists that
the Big Three automakers and Michigan Senator Homer S. Ferguson also had a role in the Tucker Corporation's
demise.
The 1988 movie Tucker: The Man and His Dream is based on the saga surrounding the car's production. The film's
director, Francis Ford Coppola, is a Tucker owner and displays his vehicle on the grounds of his winery. The 48's
original proposed price was said to be $1,000, but the actual selling price was closer to $4,000. A 1948 Tucker sedan
was featured in the July 26, 2011, instalment of NBC's It's Worth What? television show. The car's estimated value at
that time was US$1,200,000. The car is commonly referred to as the "Tucker Torpedo". This name was never used in
conjunction with the actual production car, and its name was officially "Tucker 48".
The first Tucker produced was a prototype sedan, known as the "Tin Goose". Fifty-eight frames and bodies were built
at the factory. From these parts, 36 sedans were finished before the factory was closed. After the factory closed but
before liquidation of his assets, Tucker retained a core of employees, who assembled an additional 14 sedans for a total
of 50. A 51st car was partially completed. A few of the remaining frames and bodies were built into complete cars
specifically #1052 and #1057 (the 1949 prototype with design changes), but the fate of others is unknown.
In the early 1950s, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, fairgrounds owner Nick Jenin purchased over ten Tuckers, the original
Tucker testbed chassis, numerous Tucker parts, photos and documents. He developed a traveling display called "The
Fabulous Tuckers". He hauled the cars and memorabilia around the country for nearly 10 years displaying them at
fairgrounds and car shows. His display highlighted the questionable policies and SEC fraud investigation which
brought Tucker down.
When the cars appear at auction, which is rare, they command prices attained by only a few marquee cars. In August
2010 Tucker #1045 sold for $1.127 million, while Tucker #1043 went for $2.915 million at auction in 2012.
Here is a Tucker ’48 competing in the recent Targa Florio at Apollo Bay – a very rare vehicle taking the
trip down the Great Ocean Road. Only 51 made, this one being number 45. It had a Bell helicopter flat six
rear engine. Quite rare. No. 45 was sold in 2010 for $1,127,500 US.
