That 47 sedan behind the 57 Chev in the first pic may have been mine at some stage, it has the factory fog lamps like mine did and it looks the right colour.

Fantastic stuff, really captures the atmosphere well, like random photos always do.It'd be nice to know what became of both the people and the cars.

I was telling the young guys and girls at work just today how cool it was to cruise Queen Street, my brother had a 58 like that one shown. Type in some number plates and see if they still exist.

Ah crap where has it all gone wrong! They were great times but now if you 'cruise' like that you get called a paedo or some such. The world has changed.

Photographer Murray Cammick is indeed hoping to create a book and would like to contact any people who are in his photos so some of the drivers' stories can be told. His email address is at the top of the link.
Cheers.

What is the car behind the Mark 2 Zephyr outside the 'Corner'!It looks a bit smooth to be an MGB.

owene, Dec 10, 9:10am
Could it be a Citroen DS19!
