SINGERS AT VICTOR HARBOR –
from Deidre Solly
H
ere are a couple of photos that may be of use for the magazine. They are of ‘Sebastian’ and ‘Solomon’ Singers’ first outing together (meaning my Singer and that of Stephen and Vida Schild). It was the Victor Harbor Christmas Pageant. We had ‘mechanics’ walking alongside the cars giving out lollies. Vida was one as you can see in the photo.
‘Solomon with Deidre at the wheel, followed by ‘Sebastian’ driven by Stephen Schild. Vida Schild at left was the ‘sweet’ mechanic!
Singer Eleven Airstream
The 1935 Singer Eleven Airstream Saloon was carry-over from the previous model year. Price was £300. It was not continued for 1936. Like the other Elevens it had independent front suspension and Fluidrive transmission with freewheel and clutch-less gear change. It is believed there are only two existing today in the world.
