  • A PreWarCar in front of the Oyster Shop in East Fremantle

This family photo was taken on the foreshore of Swan River in East Fremantle in Western Australia. The building shown in the background was the Auguste Family Oyster Shop which later became the Oyster Beds Restaurant. Harry, who sent the photo in, told us he recently spoke to a surviving member of this family who unfortunately unable to tell him more about the PreWarCar. This is the reason he contacted us. Can anyone tell Harry more about the car we see in this photo?

Please comment below. Your help will be much appreciated.

This car was built in 1910 at the EMF plant in Walkerville, Ontario. The cars were sold in Canada and other Empire countries. In that same year Studebaker took the company over and switched to their own brand of cars.
