Great picture John…The tram at the rear, next to the Morris Commercial lorry is one of a
large number of trams that Glasgow Corporation bought from Liverpool Corporation about
1957 when Liverpool totally ceased its tram operation. Glasgow continued operating trams
until about 1960. Cheers, Ray.

1972 and an LD van still around, I certainly remember them but not as an adult.

I remember them, I knew them inside out mechanically! :slight_smile: We were still selling new ones in 1968 which was when production ended and the EA series was launched, we also serviced/repaired the LD Ambulances that Berkshire had and they kept them well into the seventies.

A Car From The Then Future… :wink: :slight_smile:

The first photograph below is of a spectacular traffic jam at Hyde Park Corner,London,on Monday,6th May,1935,during King George V’s Silver Jubilee celebrations.A fascinating
variety of largely square boxed-shaped motorcars,with cliff-hanger backs,such as taxis,private cars,limousines,etc,can be seen,including AEC Renown,6x4,LT Class,AEC NS Class,4x2,
AEC Regent ST & STL Classes,4x2,Double Decker Buses of London Transport,one lone open sports tour car,a lone Bedford or Ford Lorry,and a motorcoach in the the distance…
BUT! :exclamation: Standing out from this motor vehicle crowd on the lower left-hand section of the photograph,surrounded by taxi-cabs,and one taxi-width away from an AEC Renown LT
Omnibus is: a then futuristic beautiful Chrysler Airflow Aerodynamic Streamlined Sedan Motorcar! :exclamation: :smiley: It must have stopped a lot of people in their tracks who were caught up in that
traffic jam! :exclamation: :smiley: This Airflow model was introduced in 1934 and was America’s first mass-produced aerodynamic motorcar,and was imported into the United Kingdom at Chrysler’s
Kew,Surrey,Division. Anyway,this beautiful Chrysler Airflow was,is and always will be,a real headturner! :exclamation: :slight_smile:
I seem to think that I’ve seen another version of this photograph years since,more of a close-up view and you could see the top half of the Airflow’s waterflow radiator grille;this other
photograph was in a British published book about road transport,published about 1964-1965.The photograph was a Radio Times Hulton Picture Library print.

The coal lorry is a Scammell Mechanical Horse.

I think the smaller Ambulance is a Morris Commercial CV 11/30.

Nearest ambulance I’d say is a Daimler.
