Ancient Cars For City Procession

Ancient motor cars, some nearly as old as Federation, will take part in the Australia Day procession in Brisbane on January 29.

Two sections in the cavalcade of cars will cater for those before 1920 and those between 1920 and 1930.

At least one 1904 model has already been promised.

The car section of the procession is being organised by the Chamber of Automotive Industry and the R.A.C.Q.

The Australia Day Celebration Committee secretary (Mr. W. Murphy) said last night the procession would be the biggest to pass through Brisbane.
