Thanks Tubby for your beautiful photo of a beautiful Chev. Tourer. This advert. was placed in a Melbourne paper, when my Uncle, John Pascoe Dalliston, sold up in the 1950s to move to live in Canada. Now I’m off to find a Whippet with a dicky seat and a Morris Minor that we owned in Ipswich when I was a pre-schooler. My Dad, Tom Dalliston, was a spray painter in at Evans in Ipswich (and later at Cresswells Ford dealership in Warwick) and he painted the Whippet ‘puce’. One school holidays, Dad and Mum drove us kids to the Atherton Tableland and back in the grey Morris. We camped at road stops I still can’t find on maps! I hope the advertised Tourer is still in ‘good order’ somewhere!
fun always
