Here is a period photo of one of the '45s that were brought to Australia for evaluation. They were not 1940s as the ad says.
One of them has survived and is currently in restoration as far as I know.

Looks like the Split next to the red Renault (?) in the above picture has the more modern tail lights of the day installed.
Beautiful location. |

There were a few reasons for this. Some upgraded to later taillights for safety (brighter/larger), some may have done so to comply with later lighting laws in countries they visited, and some wanted to make their older car look more like a new one. Today we like the look of vintage cars, but at the time these cars were new, they weren't vintage and people wanted to "keep up with the Johannes" and make them look new(er). |
